2 Corinthians 5:21 God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
God’s plan to save us was to make Jesus, who knew no sin, to be sin on our behalf so that we could be reconciled to Him.
Jesus was completely without sin. He knew no sin. He is perfectly pure and righteous.
Because He is sinless, He alone was able to bear the penalty for our sin on the cross.
On the cross, our sin was credited to Him, and He died in our place. In return, all who are united to Christ by faith become the righteousness of God in Him.
His righteousness is credited to us, and we are declared righteous before God.
Be assured that your standing before God rests on Christ’s righteousness, not on your own performance. You have peace with God because of the perfect purity and finished work of Christ. ~ Jeff M Newman
