How do we know that Christ's righteousness is the only true righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture asserts that all our righteousness is like filthy rags, and only Christ’s righteousness is perfect, making it the only acceptable basis for salvation.

The Apostle Paul emphasizes in Romans 3 that 'in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing' (Romans 7:18), asserting that human attempts at righteousness fall short of God’s glory. In Philippians 3:8-9, Paul recounts his transformation from relying on his own righteousness to embracing the righteousness that comes through faith in Christ. This revelation illustrates that Christ's righteousness is the only eternal standard that justifies us before God. God strips us of self-righteousness to reveal the absolute perfection found in His Son, solidifying our salvation solely on Him.
