How do we know Jesus is our righteousness?

Answered in 14 sources

Scripture teaches that Jesus is the Lord our righteousness, emphasizing His role in fulfilling the law and providing us with a perfect standing before God.

Jesus is referred to as 'the Lord our righteousness' in Jeremiah 33:16, signifying that He is the source of our righteousness before God. The concept of imputed righteousness through Christ is central to Reformed theology. In 1 Corinthians 1:30, it states, 'And because of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption.' This showcases that our righteousness is not self-derived but is a gracious gift from Christ. He fulfilled the law’s demands on our behalf, allowing us to stand justified before God. Therefore, our assurance and confidence rest upon His righteousness alone.
