God made him (Jesus) who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. [2 Corinthians 5:21]
Jesus became your sin so that you may become the righteousness of God. What is righteousness? The Amplified Translation defines 'righteousness' as 'what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness'.
Jesus who knew no sin, became sin and God had to reject Him and deem Him as sin worthy of death. On our side, we who knew no righteousness, became righteousness and God can approve and accept us in right relationship with Himself! Praise the Lord for the finished work!
