How do we know Jesus is our righteousness?

Answered in 10 sources

The name 'Lord, our righteousness' signifies that Christ's perfect obedience is imputed to those who believe, making them righteous before God.

In Jeremiah, the promise is made that the Church shall be called 'the Lord, our righteousness.' This signifies that the righteousness of Christ is credited to believers, providing them with standing before God. We are not able to attain righteousness on our own, but through faith in Christ, who perfectly fulfilled the law, we are considered righteous. This imputation of Christ's righteousness is a cornerstone of Reformed theology, affirming that it is by grace through faith, and not by our works, that we are saved and justified before God.
