How do we know that God can turn our sins into righteousness?
Answered in 1 source
We learn that God has made Christ sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21).
The transformation from sin to righteousness is an act of divine grace, rooted in the redemptive work of Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:21 states, 'For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.' This passage underscores the blessed exchange that occurs in the gospel: Christ took upon Himself our sin, and in return, believers are granted His righteousness. This profound mystery is possible because of God's nature; nothing is too hard for God, not even reconciling a sinful people to Himself through the perfect sacrifice of His Son. While we cannot achieve righteousness on our own, by faith we are clothed in Christ's perfection, allowing us to stand justified before a holy God.
