How do we know Christ as our righteousness is true?

Answered in 1 source

We know Christ as our righteousness through faith in His atoning work, which is affirmed by the testimony of Scripture.

The truth of Christ being our righteousness is anchored in the historical and redemptive narrative of Scripture. In Proverbs 11:5, it states, 'The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way,' pointing to the incomparability of Christ's righteousness. This is also echoed in passages like 2 Corinthians 5:21, where it affirms that 'He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.' Through faith, we are united with Christ, and His righteousness is imputed to us, making us accepted before God. Such assurance is not based on subjective feelings but on the objective truth of God’s Word.
