How do we know that Christ is the righteousness of God?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is identified as the righteousness of God through scriptural declarations and His fulfillment of the law.

The assertion that Christ is the righteousness of God is rooted in multiple scriptural references. In 2 Corinthians 5:21, it states that God made Christ to be sin for us, so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. This indicates that Christ's sacrifice was not only a means of atonement but a means to impart His righteousness to believers. Likewise, Romans 1:17 connects the gospel with the revelation of God's righteousness, emphasizing that through faith in Christ, we receive His perfect righteousness, thus eliminating the need for our own works to achieve salvation. The implications of this truth direct us to understand that Christ embodies the righteousness we need to stand before a holy God.
