How can a sinner be made perfect in God's eyes?

The Bible teaches that sinners can be made perfect only through the righteousness of Christ. In Ezekiel 16, we learn that the beauty of God's people comes not from themselves, but from His comeliness which He bestows upon them (Ezekiel 16:14). This concept is extensively supported in the New Testament, particularly in 2 Corinthians 5:21, which states that God made Christ to be sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. This means that our standing before God is anchored in Christ's perfection, which covers all our sins and shortcomings—making us acceptable to God despite our sinful nature.
