How do we know righteousness is through faith in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Righteousness is through faith in Christ because He is made of God unto us righteousness, fulfilling all legal demands of the law.

Righteousness before God is not attainable through our own works but is granted through faith in Christ. As described in 1 Corinthians 1:30, Christ is made of God unto us righteousness, meaning that His obedience met the perfect requirements of God’s law. This righteousness is imputed to believers, making them acceptable before God. It is through Christ's perfect life, sacrificial death, and resurrection that we receive the righteousness necessary for salvation. Therefore, our standing before God is based solely on Christ's accomplishments, which we appropriate by faith.
