How do we know that Christ's righteousness is the basis of our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

We know Christ's righteousness is the basis of salvation through Scripture, which teaches that we are justified by faith in Him.

The understanding of Christ’s righteousness as the foundation of salvation is established in Scripture, particularly in passages such as Romans 3:22, which states, 'Even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe.' This indicates that it is not our righteousness but Christ’s that justifies us before God. The imputation of His righteousness to sinners is a critical aspect of sovereign grace theology, confirming that salvation is entirely an act of God's grace through faith. The necessity of Christ's righteous life and sacrificial death means that believers are accepted before God not based on their merit but solely on Christ’s merit and His atoning work.
