What does it mean to 'awake to righteousness' according to Paul?

Answered in 1 source

Awakening to righteousness is a call to recognize and embrace the imputed righteousness of Christ, enabling believers to serve God.

In 1 Corinthians 15:34, Paul urges the Corinthians to 'awake to righteousness and sin not.' This call is not about self-generated righteousness but about acknowledging the righteousness that comes through faith in Christ. It is a realization that apart from Christ, we are without worth before God. When believers awaken to this righteousness, they understand their identity as justified in Christ, which motivates them to live in a way that honors God. This awareness has profound implications for Christian living, as it transforms how one engages with sin and the world.
