What does the Bible say about being made righteous?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that believers are made the righteousness of God in Christ as a result of Christ's sacrificial work.

The Apostle Paul states in 2 Corinthians 5:21 that God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. This righteousness is not something we earn or achieve; it is a gift bestowed by God's grace through faith in Christ. The concept of being made righteous is central to the Christian faith, indicating our position before God is not based on our deeds but entirely upon the perfect life and atoning death of Jesus Christ. This is important as it assures believers of their acceptance before God, not by their efforts, but through their union with Christ.
Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 5:21, Romans 8:1-2
