According to New Testament teaching (such as 2 Corinthians 5:21), in whom do believers become "the righteousness of God"?
Answer
Christ
Explanation
### Why this is right
The prayer explicitly connects the believer’s righteousness with being in Christ. Its emphasis is on a status grounded in Christ, not on health or religious performance.
### The concept
The phrase expresses the material’s account of received identity. It should be distinguished from the book’s separate discussion of physical healing.
### The other options
- **B. Personal achievement**: the prayer does not make achievement the source of righteousness.
- **C. Church attendance**: attendance is not identified as the basis of righteousness.
- **D. Physical health**: healing is a separate topic in the book.
