How do we know Christ's obedience benefits us?

Answered in 1 source

Christ’s obedience is imputed to believers, granting them righteousness (Romans 5:19).

Christ's obedience is not merely a historical event; it has profound implications for believers. Through His perfect life and atoning sacrifice, Christ's righteousness is imputed to all who believe. Romans 5:19 articulates that just as through one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so through the obedience of one man, many will be made righteous. This doctrine of imputed righteousness reassures believers that they stand justified before God, not on the basis of their own works, but through faith in Christ's finished work. Therefore, His obedience provides the foundation of our salvation and acceptance before God.
