What does it mean to be made the righteousness of God in Christ?
Answered in 1 source
To be made the righteousness of God in Christ means being justified and accepted by God through faith in Jesus.
Being made the righteousness of God in Christ refers to the transformative work whereby believers, through faith, are accounted as righteous before God. As highlighted in 2 Corinthians 5:21, Christ was made sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. This righteousness is not based on our works but is a gracious gift derived from Christ's perfect obedience and sacrificial death. It assures believers that they are no longer condemned and are accepted in the beloved, participating in the divine nature and empowered to live righteously through the Holy Spirit.
