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

Answered in 18 sources

Christ's righteousness is sufficient for salvation because it fully satisfies God's justice and is imputed to believers without any need for human works.

We can be confident in the sufficiency of Christ's righteousness for salvation as it is grounded in Scripture and His divine nature. As John 17:20 indicates, Christ has given His words to His followers, revealing the nature of salvation through belief in Him. Additionally, the seamless robe represents the perfection of Christ's work on the cross, emphasizing that it cannot be enhanced by our efforts or diminished by our sins. The doctrine of imputed righteousness, which teaches that our sins are placed upon Christ and His righteousness is credited to us, assures us that we stand complete in Him. It is His finished work, not our works, that secures our position before God.
