What does it mean to be made the righteousness of God in Him?

Answered in 2 sources

To be made the righteousness of God in Him means that through Christ's sacrifice, believers are justified and declared righteous before God.

Being made the righteousness of God in Him, as stated in 2 Corinthians 5:21, indicates that through faith in Christ, believers receive His righteousness as a gift. This imputed righteousness means that God views believers as righteous, not based on their own merits but because of Christ's perfect obedience and sacrifice. This is central to the Doctrine of Justification, which holds that a sinner is declared righteous purely by faith, allowing them to stand accepted before God. It underscores the spectacular nature of salvation where God not only forgives but also credits the righteousness of Christ to our account.
