How do we know that Jesus is our righteousness?

Answered in 8 sources

We know Jesus is our righteousness because His sacrifice alone fulfills the law's requirements and grants us justification before God.

The Scripture clearly teaches that our righteousness comes solely through faith in Jesus Christ. In Philippians 3:9, Paul highlights the importance of being found 'in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith.' This underscores that our attempts to earn righteousness through law-keeping fall short. Instead, Christ's atoning work provides believers with a perfect and complete righteousness that God accepts. Therefore, we can confidently claim that Jesus is our righteousness and that we are clothed in Him.
