Righteousness
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become a the righteousness of God in Him.
2 Corinthians 5 : 21 NKJV
This statement is the positive counterpart to the statement in v. 19 that God does not impute our trespasses to us. He imputed them instead to Christ, who was sinless in every respect (see Heb. 4:15 ; 1 Pet. 2:22 ; 1 John 3:5 ). He bore our sins on the Cross and endured the penalty that we deserved, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him . See also Rom. 8:3 , 4 ; 1 Cor. 1:30 ; Gal. 3:13 , 14
