How do we know faith is sufficient for our righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is sufficient for righteousness because it receives the imputed righteousness of Christ, not based on our works.

The Bible teaches that righteousness is imputed to believers through faith, as outlined in Romans 4, where it states that Abraham's faith was counted as righteousness. This signifies that faith itself is not a work, but a means of receiving the perfect righteousness of Christ, who fulfilled all righteousness for us. The imputation of Christ’s righteousness demonstrates that it is God’s grace, not human merit, that justifies a sinner. Thus, we are justified by faith and not by our personal works (Romans 10:4).
