How do we know Christ's righteousness justifies us?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's righteousness justifies us because it is imputed to believers, allowing them to stand before God as if they had never sinned.

Justification through Christ's righteousness is rooted in the doctrine of imputation, where the sins of the elect are charged to Christ while His righteousness is counted as theirs. Romans 4:6 elucidates this by stating that God imputes righteousness apart from works. It reveals the glorious exchange that takes place - our sins for His righteousness. Thus, believers can stand before God at the final judgment not based on their own merits, which inevitably fall short, but solely on the perfect righteousness of Christ that is granted to them by faith. This profound truth assures us that our acceptance before God is grounded in grace, not in personal achievement.
