How do we know Christ's righteousness is the standard for judgment?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's righteousness is the standard for judgment because God has ordained that we will be judged by the merit of His Son, as seen in Acts 17:31.

The New Testament clarifies the standard of judgment by reinforcing that Christ’s perfect obedience is essential for acceptance before God. Acts 17:31 indicates that God 'will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained,' referring to Jesus Christ, whose resurrection assures us that His righteousness is the definitive measure by which every person will be evaluated. Only through the imputation of Christ’s righteousness can we hope to stand justified before the judgment seat of God. This understanding is vital for appreciating the grace offered through faith in Christ alone.
