How do we know Jesus Christ is our fitness for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is our fitness for salvation as He is our righteousness, making us fit to stand before God, as stated in Colossians 1:12.

According to Colossians 1:12, Christ is our fitness and worthiness for the eternal inheritance. He qualifies us to stand before God due to His righteousness, which is freely imputed to His people. Our inherent sinfulness renders our righteousness as filthy rags, but in Christ, we are made acceptable. His accomplishment of perfect obedience and sacrificial death provides us the necessary standing before God, guaranteeing that we can approach Him not on our merit, but on the basis of Christ's righteousness. Therefore, His role as our Redeemer directly impacts our fitness for salvation.
