How do we know righteousness in Christ is true?

Answered in 1 source

Righteousness in Christ is true because it is the only righteousness that meets God's holy standards.

Biblical righteousness is not based on our efforts but is found in Christ alone. Romans 3:22 states that the righteousness of God is available through faith in Jesus Christ. Our own attempts at righteousness are insufficient, as seen in Isaiah 64:6, which describes our righteousness as filthy rags. In contrast, Christ's righteousness is perfect and acceptable before God. In Philippians 3:9, Paul emphasizes that we should be found in Him, having a righteousness that comes from God through faith, highlighting the significance of Christ's righteousness as our source of justification.
