2 Corinthians 5:21 (AMP) 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,

Remember, Jesus is introducing His Kingdom to Nicodemus, a Kingdom they all had the wrong expectation of. And the first reality Jesus shares with Nicodemus is that a human must be born-again to be able to see this Kingdom.

Luke 11:1-2 (NKJV) Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”
