How do we know Christ's righteousness is true for believers?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are made righteous through Christ, who fulfilled the law on their behalf.

The righteousness of Christ is integral to the gospel, revealing that He is our righteousness before God. As stated in 1 Corinthians 1:30, Christ has been made unto us righteousness. This means that through faith in Him, believers receive a standing of righteousness that is not their own, but the result of Christ's perfect obedience. He fulfilled all the demands of the law, and on the cross, He satisfied God’s justice. Therefore, by identifying with Him in His death and resurrection, believers are credited with His righteousness and can stand justified before God.
