How do we know God's righteousness is our righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

God's righteousness is conferred upon believers through Christ, making it our righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21).

In Psalm 4, David refers to God as 'the God of my righteousness,' indicating that the righteousness believers possess is not their own but rather God's righteousness imputed to them through faith in Christ. This concept is further explained in 2 Corinthians 5:21, which states that God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. This exchange illustrates the theological foundation of justification by faith, where believers are declared righteous on the basis of Christ’s perfect obedience and sacrificial death, affirming that our right standing before God is wholly dependent on His grace.
