What does the Bible say about being made the righteousness of God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that believers are made the righteousness of God in Christ, meaning they are viewed as perfectly righteous before Him.

In 2 Corinthians 5:21, the Apostle Paul reveals a profound truth: Christ was made sin for us, so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. This means that in divine grace, believers do not just receive a covering of righteousness, but they are transformed into the very righteousness of God Himself. As Christ took on our sin, we are credited with His perfect obedience, allowing us to stand before God without any condemnation or guilt. It is a complete and passive act on our part; we contribute nothing to our justification—it is solely the work of Christ.
