Righteousness was achieved by & is received from our Great God & Savior, Jesus the Christ.
The righteousness of Christ is an imputed gift. Given to NT believers when they place their faith in Christ's sin atoning work. Found in Jesus death, burial & resurrection.
Rom 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
(NOTE: Righteousness is a gift from God. A gift is given not earned)
Rom 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
(NOTE: It's our faith placed in Christ's righteousness whereby we are justified = Judicially declared righteousness/forgiven/redeemed by the Creator/owner of our universe. Our LORD & Savior Jesus the Christ.)
1 Tim 1:9 God saved us, & called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, according to his own purpose & grace, which was given us "in Christ" before the world began
(NOTE: God Saved us, NOT according to our own great works, but, according to His own purpose & grace "which was GIVEN us in Christ")

King James Version
2 Cor 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Amplified Bible (AMP)
2 Cor 5:21 He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness].
I prefer the AMP version here. Bottom line:
Christ is the LORD our Righteousness. (Jer23:5, 33:16) We are reconciled to & can stand in God's Presents. Via God's grace & our trust placed in the faithful/righteous/obedient sin atoning work, of our LORD & Savior Jesus the Christ. Amen
