How do we know Christ's righteousness is applicable to us?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's righteousness is given to those who come to Him in faith, as He willingly laid down His life for sinners.

The application of Christ's righteousness is seen through the act of faith in which sinners recognize their unworthiness and turn to Christ for salvation. As emphasized in John 19, the garments taken from Christ serve as a metaphor for His perfect righteousness, which sinners can don by faith. In Matthew 5:6, Jesus states, 'Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.' This hunger signifies a deep need for Christ's righteousness, which is provided freely to all who seek Him at the foot of the cross. In this way, every sinner can securely embrace the truth of Romans 3:22, which reveals that the righteousness of God is available to all who believe.
