How do we know God's righteousness is through Christ?

Answered in 1 source

God's righteousness is established in Christ, who fulfilled the law and provided redemption through His obedience and sacrifice.

The righteousness of God is a central tenet of the Christian faith, firmly rooted in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Romans 10:3 speaks of the ignorance of the Israelites, who sought to establish their own righteousness instead of submitting to the righteousness provided by God through Christ. As demonstrated in Romans 5:19, through Christ’s obedience, many are made righteous. This concept is further reinforced in 2 Corinthians 5:21, which states that Christ was made sin for us, enabling us to become the righteousness of God in Him. Understanding this is crucial, as it emphasizes that human efforts to achieve righteousness are futile, and true righteousness is found solely in faith in Christ’s finished work.
