How do we know that Christ's righteousness is attributed to us?

Christ's righteousness is credited to believers through faith in Him, as taught in Romans 3:24.
The doctrine of imputation teaches that Christ's righteousness is credited to believers by faith. Romans 3:24 states that we are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. This means that when we trust in Jesus, His perfect obedience and sacrificial death are counted as our own. 2 Corinthians 5:21 further explains this wonderful exchange: 'For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.' Therefore, our standing before God is based on Christ's righteousness, not on our works, freeing us from condemnation and empowering us to walk in accordance with His will.
