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

Answered in 22 sources

The righteousness of Christ is imputed to believers by faith, as seen in 2 Corinthians 5:21, where believers are made the righteousness of God in Him.

Imputed righteousness is a core tenet of Reformed theology, signifying that the perfect righteousness of Christ is credited to believers. 2 Corinthians 5:21 succinctly states, 'For our sake, he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.' This scriptural truth teaches that through faith, believers are united to Christ, and His righteousness is reckoned to them.

This concept underscores the assurance that believers have about their right standing before God. It is not based on their own merit but on the gracious act of God in uniting them to Christ. Thus, as believers share in Christ's death and resurrection, they also receive His righteousness, freeing them from the condemnation of the law and enabling them to stand justified before God.
