How does Jesus' righteousness affect believers?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' righteousness is imputed to believers, making them acceptable before God and ensuring their salvation (2 Corinthians 5:21).

The imputation of Christ's righteousness is foundational to the salvation of believers. As articulated in 2 Corinthians 5:21, God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. This divine exchange not only justifies us before the Father but also transforms our nature, enabling us to live in accordance with His will. It emphasizes that believers are seen as righteous in God’s eyes, not based on their own merit but solely due to the perfect righteousness of Jesus. Consequently, this understanding liberates us from the burden of guilt and empowers us to pursue holiness.
