How do we know that our righteousness is from Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that righteousness comes through faith in Christ, as outlined in Philippians 3:9, where Paul seeks not his own but Christ's righteousness.

Philippians 3:9 articulates the vital theological point that true righteousness is not self-derived but comes from God through faith in Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul emphasizes this in his letter, asserting that he desires to be found in Christ, not having a righteousness of his own. This reflects the Reformed understanding that human righteousness is inadequate and always tainted by sin. Believers stand justified before God solely through the righteousness of Christ, who fulfilled the law perfectly in their stead. This doctrine underlines the necessity of faith for salvation, highlighting the grace of God as the source of a believer's standing before Him.
