How do we know Christ's righteousness covers our sins?

Answered in 4 sources

Christ's righteousness covers our sins based on God's promise in Scripture and the sacrificial system outlined in the Old Testament, culminating in Christ's atoning work.

The righteousness of Christ is the only covering that can adequately address our shame before God. Throughout Scripture, we see the sacrificial system foreshadowing this covering, such as in the coats of skins made for Adam and Eve after their sin (Genesis 3:21). Christ's sacrifice is the ultimate fulfillment of this need for a covering, demonstrated by His perfect obedience and bloodshed, which satisfy God's wrath against sin. As Romans 3:22 illustrates, the righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe, confirming that His blood washes away our guilt and shame forever.
