How do we know that Christ's righteousness is given to believers?
Answered in 1 source
God's righteousness is credited to believers through faith in Christ, as detailed in Romans 3:22.
The doctrine of justification by faith teaches that believers are declared righteous before God not by their own works, but through the righteousness of Christ, which is imputed to them. Romans 3:22 states that 'the righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.' This underscores the importance of faith in receiving God's grace. The narrative of Moses striking the rock illustrates that adherence to the law does not lead to righteousness; instead, it is through faith in Christ that believers find their standing before God. This assurance of true righteousness is foundational to the Christian faith.
