How do we know our righteousness is from Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

Our righteousness is sourced in Christ and is imputed to us, confirming that we cannot achieve it through our own efforts.

The doctrine of the imputation of Christ's righteousness is foundational in Reformed theology. In Matthew 5:20, Jesus states that our righteousness must exceed that of the Pharisees, leading us to understand that true righteousness cannot be achieved through our works. It is solely through the finished work of Christ, accomplished on the cross, that His righteousness is credited to our account. This truth reassures us that our standing before God does not rely on our merit but on the perfect obedience and sacrificial death of Christ, which fulfills the law on our behalf.
