How do we know Christ's righteousness is given to us?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's righteousness is imputed to believers by God's grace through faith, not by our works.
The Apostle Paul emphasizes in Romans 5:19 that 'by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.' This illustrates a divine transaction whereby Christ's righteousness is imputed to those who believe. According to 2 Corinthians 5:21, '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 action of imputation illustrates that our standing before God hinges entirely on Christ's merit, rather than our own efforts or morality. Through grace, we are enveloped in His righteousness, giving us access to communion with God.
