How can we be sure we are righteous in God's eyes?

The assurance of our righteousness before God comes from our faith in Christ. According to Jeremiah 23:6, 'the Lord our righteousness' signifies that it is Christ who covers our sins and presents us as righteous before God. Additionally, in Ephesians 1:4, we learn that God chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, further affirming that our righteousness is not of our own doing but through Christ. This brings us comfort, knowing that it is not our actions but Christ's work that secures our standing before God: 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God' (Ephesians 2:8).
