How do we know Christ's righteousness is sufficient for salvation?

Answered in 39 sources

Christ's righteousness is sufficient for salvation because it is the only perfect righteousness that meets God's holy standards, achieved through His obedience and sacrificial death.

Christ’s righteousness is the basis upon which believers are justified before God. Romans 3:24 states that we are justified freely by God’s grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. His perfect obedience to the law fulfills all the requirements that we cannot meet. When we believe in Him, we are credited with His righteousness, which is essential because our own righteousness is deemed as filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6) compared to His. We derive our acceptance before God not through our works, but solely through faith in Christ, as reflected in Romans 5:1, which tells us that we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
