How do we know that Christ's righteousness makes us accepted by God?

Answered in 1 source

We are accepted by God based solely on Christ's righteousness, which is credited to us through our faith in Him (Ephesians 1:4-5).

The acceptance of believers by God is fundamentally grounded in Christ's righteousness. In Ephesians 1:4-5, Paul states that we are predestined for adoption as children through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will. This acceptance is not based on any merit or goodness within us, but rather on God's sovereign grace and the righteousness of Christ that is imputed to us. What joy it brings to know that it is not our own weak efforts or righteousness that grant us acceptance but His perfect righteousness, ensuring our status as beloved children of God and members of His family.
