How do we know that Christ is the righteous one?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ is known as the righteous one because He fulfilled all righteousness, both in His life and in His sacrifice.

The righteousness of Christ is central to His identity. As the Son of God, He was without original sin and lived a sinless life, fulfilling the law perfectly. When Isaiah prophesied of the coming of the righteous servant, he spoke of one who would magnify the law and offer salvation. This is seen in the New Testament, where Jesus is declared to be the one who brings righteousness to those who believe. In essence, His life and work confirm His status as the righteous one, providing the basis for the believer's own righteousness before God.
