Why is the concept of Christ's perfect obedience important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

It assures Christians that they are accepted by God based on Christ's merit, not their own.

Understanding Christ's perfect obedience is crucial for Christians because it secures our standing before God. If our acceptance depended on our efforts to keep the law, we would always find ourselves in despair due to our failures. However, the assurance given through Christ’s perfect keeping of the law assures believers that their entrance into heaven relies on His righteousness alone. This grace-based acceptance fuels true Christian living and obedience, as believers respond to grace with a desire to live according to God’s will, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
