Hello Gracenotworkssaves,
I am not sure what you want to discuss. Christ's righteousness becomes OUR righteousness.
Justification is like a "judicial act" of God pardoning sinners, like a judge who pardon a criminal and reinstate him as "right" or "just" in the eyes of the law again. In the same sense, God accepted us as "justified" and vindicated us in a declarative act of "righteous-standing" in his eyes. It is by the grace of God (Romans 3:24, Titus 3:7) within the blood (Romans 5:9) and though faith (Romans 5:1, 10:10). Not by the works of the law or from our own works of righteousness (Galatians 2:16, Romans 3:20, Philippians 3:9), but from God/Christ's righteousness given to us makes us justified.
Romans 10:9-10 If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is LORD," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.
Titus 3:5-7 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
---
WHEN WE ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST AS OUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR AND HIS RESURRECTION, THE WE HAVE IMPUTED OUR SINS UPON HIM (since he remain without sin) AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD/CHRIST WAS IMPUTED ON US. Not a "swap" but being "credited" in the sense of a judicial act. For instant, in the book of Romans chapter 4 teaches "Imputed Righteousness" the word imputed in Greek is transliteration as logizomai, which means "to pass to ones account, to transferred" (CREDITED, or counted Romans 4:3, 5, reckoned Romans 4:4, 10, and imputed Romans 4:6, 8, 11, 22, 23, 24) which is mentioned 10 times. The righteousness of God/Christ is transferred to us by faith.

1 Peter 2:21-24 21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. �He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.� When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. �HE HIMSELF BORE OUR SINS� IN HIS BODY ON THE CROSS, SO THAT WE MIGHT DIE TO SINS AND LIVE FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS; by his wounds you have been healed.�
2 Corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, SO THAT IN HIM WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.
Philippians 3:7-9 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, NOT HAVING A RIGHTEOUSNESS OF MY OWN that comes from the law, BUT THAT WHICH IS THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST�THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT COMES FROM GOD ON THE BASIS OF FAITH.
Romans 3:21-22 But now apart from the law THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD HAS BEEN MADE KNOWN, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS GIVEN THOUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST TO ALL WHO BELEIVE. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,
1 Corinthians 1:30 It is because of him that YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO HAS BECOME FOR US wisdom from God �that is, OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, holiness and redemption.

**THE WONDERFUL NAMES OF JESUS CHRIST**!!
Jesus in English is Yeshua or Joshua in Hebrew and means **GOD IS HELP**!! Joshua in Hebrew is phonetically pronounced "YESHUA" since the "J" in Hebrew is pronounced "YEH". �Christ� comes from the Greek word "Christos", meaning �Anointed One� or �Chosen One.� This is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word Masheach, or �Messiah.� Jesus the Messiah in Hebrew is pronounced **YESHUA HA MASHEACH**
Matthew 1:21-23: The angel of the Lord said, " She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name **JESUS** {Which means **GOD IS HELP**}, because He will save His people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said {In Isaiah 7:14 below} through the prophet: "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son and they will all Him **IMMANUEL** which means **GOD WITH US**!"
Luke 2:9,10: An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them. The angel said, "I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a **SAVIOR** has been born to you; He is the **MESSIAH**, the **LORD**!"
Isaiah 7:14: "The Lord Himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son, and will call Him **IMMANUEL!" {Which means **GOD WITH US**! quoted in Matthew 1:23 above}
Isaiah 9:6: For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called **WONDERFUL COUNSELOR** and **MIGHTY GOD**!
Titus 2:13,14: We wait for the **BLESSED HOPE**--the glorious appearing of our **GREAT GOD** AND **SAVIOR**, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people that are **HIS VERY OWN**, eager to do what is good!!
**JESUS CHRIST** is also called **THE LAMB OF GOD** **THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE** **THE GOOD SHEPHERD** **JUDGE** **LORD OF LORDS** **HEAD OF THE CHURCH** **MASTER** **FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS** **THE ROCK** **HIGH PRIEST** **THE DOOR** **LIVING WATER** **BREAD OF LIFE** **ROSE OF SHARON** **ALPHA AND OMEGA** **THE BEGINNING AND THE END** THE TRUE VINE** **TEACHER** **PROPHET** **ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD** **HOLY ONE** **ONLY MEDIATOR** **LIGHT OF THE WORLD** **IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD** **THE WORD** **CHIEF CORNERSTONE** **SAVIOR** **AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH** **THE ALMIGHTY** **KING OF KINGS** **PRINCE OF PEACE** **SON OF MAN** **REDEEMER** **BRIGHT MORNING STAR** **THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE**!!

Because Messiah is RIGHTEOUS, He is our ADVOCATE.
1 John 2:1
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
