We ARE made righteous through Jesus Christ. He is who God sees when He looks at us, when we receive Jesus into our lives. It IS amazing! Thanks be to God.

Christ’s righteousness is imputed or accredited to us, we are not made righteous. There is a subtle but very important distinction. Because of this distinction, we can depend on Him, not on what we need to accomplish to be certain of our salvation. Praise God! Because I can trust Him whereas I constantly fail!

If you mean imputed righteousness, yes, if you mean imparted, no.
