Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us. We plead on Christ's behalf, "Be reconciled to God." He made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

2 Corinthians 5:20-21 CSB

I'm not sure what "become the righteousness of God" means. 

I get being made righteous before God. 

He is God, holy, righteous, and because of, through, in Jesus we are made righteous. 

But this says we might become the righteousness of God. 

Somehow the distinction, the distance, the "otherness" of God from us is removed. 

"Being reconciled to God" seems to hold something that isn't a transaction, but a belonging.

That deepest part of us that needs belonging and acceptance and being known will find that completely. We will be reconciled with the Eternal, with Love. 

Paul's words here seem to indicate that somehow that will affect God too.

As we sit with this today, may we get a further glimpse of that becoming, get a little closer to being fully reconciled to Him, knowing that right now, we are beloved.
