How do we know that Christ's righteousness benefits us?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's righteousness is credited to believers as their own by faith.

Through faith in Christ, believers have His righteousness attributed to them. This doctrine is rooted in the concept of imputation, where Christ's perfect obedience and righteousness compensate for our sinfulness. Scripture teaches that the justice of God is satisfied through the atoning work and righteousness of Jesus, allowing those who trust in Him to stand justified before God. His death on the cross and subsequent resurrection affirm that His sacrifice is accepted, granting us the status of righteousness in God's eyes, a truth echoed throughout the New Testament.
