Actually you are mistaken and grasping at any old passage that seems to support your doctrine.
The righteousness of God is a separate thing from Jesus Christ and is well documented in the NT. It is the reason for God sending His Son Jesus to die so that those righteous people, worthy of eternal life can have it. That is the righteousness of God spoken o ...[text shortened]... the faith, the living faith [not the dead version of faith preached by you] which saves mankind.
But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God; both RIGHTEOUSNESS and sanctification and redemption.
That as it is written, "He who boasts let him boast in the Lord." (1 Cor. 1:30,31)

Jesus is indeed God Himself become a man.
Jesus declares "I am the good shepherd" (John 10:11)
But in the Old Testament it is taught that Jehovah is the Shepherd.
"Yahweh is my shepherd" (Psalm 23:1)
Jehovah God, Yahweh, was incarnated in Jesus Christ to be "the Chief Shepherd"
" And when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, you will receive the unfading crown of glory." ( 1 Peter 1:5)
No one can shepherd a soul like Jesus. He shepherds from WITHIN the heart. No inward motion or movement of the soul escapes His care. On a "molecular" level He guides a man from within, once you receive His Spirit.
"For you were like sheep being led astray, but you have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of our souls." ( 1 Peter 2:25)

How else does Jesus claim to be God incarnate ?
Jesus says He is the light of the world.
" Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." (John 8:12)
God Who was the light in the Old Testament times became incarnated in the Son.
" Jehovah is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear ? " (Psalm 27:1)
The Word Who was with God and was God had the divine life. And His life is the light of men.
" in Him [the Word] was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it." (John 1:4,5)
God as the Word Who became flesh, comes into the world and enlightens every man as to the reality of God and human life. For He is also the pre-existent God through Whom the world was made.
" This was the true light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world came into being through Him, yet the world did not know Him." (John 1:9,10)
