Only Jesus gives us righteousness and takes our sins
wÒHe [God] made Him [Jesus] who knew
no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.Ó – 2 Corinthians 5:21
wÒAnd He Himself bore our sins in His
body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.Ó – 1 Peter 2:24
