What does it mean that we are made righteous in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Being made righteous in Christ means our sins are imputed to Him and His righteousness is credited to us.

The doctrine of imputed righteousness is central to the gospel. As explained in 2 Corinthians 5:21, 'For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.' This signifies that through faith in Christ, our sins are placed upon Him, and in return, His perfect righteousness is attributed to us. This divine exchange is not based on our own merit but solely on God’s grace, allowing believers to stand justified before Him.
