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

Answered in 3 sources

Christ's righteousness is bestowed upon believers through faith as a gift of grace, ensuring our acceptance before God.

Christ's righteousness is crucial for our standing before God. The Bible teaches that, through faith in Jesus, believers are declared righteous—a doctrine known as justification. This is elaborated in Romans 5:1, which affirms that we have peace with God through faith, and in Revelation 19:8, it describes the righteous acts of the saints as 'fine linen' granted to them. Thus, we wear the righteousness of Christ, enabling us to approach God boldly, as our acceptance is based on His merit, not our own.
