What does the Bible teach about the exchange of our sin for Christ's righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that through Christ's sacrifice, our sin is exchanged for His righteousness, which is imputed to us by faith.

According to 2 Corinthians 5:21, God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. This profound exchange is foundational to Reformed theology, highlighting that our justification is not based on our own merits but solely on Christ's finished work. The imputing of Christ's righteousness to believers is an act of God's grace that justifies us before Him despite our sinful nature. This gives us assurance of salvation, knowing that it is Christ's righteousness that is accepted by God, not any righteousness of our own.
