How do we know Christ's righteousness saves us?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's righteousness saves us because it fulfills God's justice and satisfies the requirements for salvation (1 John 3:5).

The essence of salvation rests in the righteousness of Jesus Christ, which is imputed to believers. According to 1 John 3:5, Jesus was manifested to take away our sin, highlighting His role as the ultimate sacrifice that atones for our transgressions. This means that rather than relying on our own inadequate righteousness, we stand justified before God through Christ's perfect obedience and sacrificial death. Paul reaffirms this in Romans, where it is made clear that we are justified by faith apart from the works of the law. Faith in Christ's righteousness provides the assurance of salvation and a clear conscience before God.
