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

Answered in 14 sources

Christ's righteousness is imputed to us through faith, meaning we are viewed as righteous in God's sight because of Christ's sacrifice (Romans 3:22).

The imputation of Christ's righteousness to believers means that God reckons us as righteous because of our faith in Jesus Christ. This is not based on our merits or works but solely on Christ's completed work on the cross. Just as sin was imputed to Christ, resulting in His suffering, His perfect righteousness is credited to us through faith. This theological underpinning assures us that we are clothed in the beauty of righteousness before God, despite our flaws and sins, accessing God's grace and mercy freely given to those who believe.
