What does it mean to be created in righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Being created in righteousness means being made new through the work of the Holy Spirit, reflecting God's holiness.

In Ephesians 4:24, Paul speaks of the new man created in righteousness and true holiness. This indicates that when a person comes to faith in Christ, they undergo a radical transformation through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This new creation reflects the character of God, marked by righteousness and holiness. It is not merely behavioral modification but a deep work of God that changes the very nature of the believer. This change is essential, as without it, one cannot truly live a life that pleases God. The righteousness imparted to the believer is rooted in Christ's perfect obedience and is essential for a genuine relationship with God. Thus, being created in righteousness entails living in a manner that honors God and aligns with His purposes.
