How do we know that Christ's righteousness justifies sinners?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's righteousness justifies sinners through faith, as His perfect life and sacrificial death satisfy God's justice.

The assurance that Christ's righteousness justifies sinners is founded upon the doctrine of imputed righteousness, where believers, through faith, are counted as righteous on account of Christ. This is highlighted in Romans 5:1, which states that being justified by faith, we have peace with God. Furthermore, Hopeful's confession in the sermon emphasizes the necessity of relying on the righteousness of Christ rather than personal merit, solidifying the truth found in 2 Corinthians 5:21, that God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Hence, justification is not earned but received by faith in Jesus Christ’s completed work.
