How do we know Jesus' righteousness is for us?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' perfect obedience during his temptations is credited to believers as their righteousness.

The significance of Jesus' temptations lies in the fact that he was tempted as our representative. Unlike Adam and Eve, who succumbed to temptation, Jesus remained obedient throughout his trials (Mark 1:12-13). This obedience is crucial for believers because it is through Christ’s righteousness that we stand accepted before God. Hebrews 4:14-16 encourages us to approach the throne of grace boldly, knowing we are accepted based on Christ's perfect obedience, not our own failures. Thus, his victories over temptation are transferred to us, offering great hope and security.
