How do we know that God sees us as righteous?

Answered in 1 source

We know God sees us as righteous because of our union with Christ who bears our sins.

According to 1 John 3:9, those born of God do not commit sin because God’s seed remains in them, meaning Christ’s righteousness is imputed to believers. When God looks at His children, He sees them purified and holy, not in light of their actions but in the completed work of Jesus Christ. This theological understanding is rooted in the concept of justification by faith, where believers, having trusted in Christ, are declared righteous before God. This righteousness comes from outside of ourselves—Christ takes away the sins of His people, and thus, God sees us as without sin.
