God Is Our Righteousness

God Himself has become our righteousness. God the Father became our righteousness when He imparted to us His nature—eternal life—when we were born again in the new birth. Jesus became our righteousness the moment we took Him as our Savior and confessed Him as our Lord. He then became our Sponsor, our Lord, our Head, and our very Life.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17-21 17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM.
God did not make any unrighteous or unworthy creatures. That would be an insult to Him. No, Jesus who knew no sin was made to be sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him (2 Cor. 5:21).

In Christ believers are the righteousness of God. Amen
