How do we know Christ's righteousness can make us just before God?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's righteousness is imputed to believers, making them just before God as a gift of grace.

The assurance of believers being justified before God is grounded in the work of Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:21 tells us, 'For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.' This passage reveals that God, in His sovereignty, appointed Christ to bear our sin, allowing us to receive His righteousness. This union with Christ is pivotal; believers are accounted righteous because of their faith in His completed work. Justification is a legal declaration where God sees the believer as not guilty and perfectly righteous through Christ, thus ensuring that they are fit for eternity in His presence.
