How do we know that we are made righteous in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

We know we are made righteous in Christ through God's Word, which assures us of our position through faith.

The certainty of our righteousness in Christ is grounded in the promises of scripture. Romans 5:1 states, 'Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' This passage underscores that our righteousness comes through faith in Christ, not from our actions. We are called to reckon ourselves as righteous because God has declared us so, and through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, we experience this reality in our hearts. Thus, our assurance of righteousness is not subjective, based on feelings, but objective, anchored in God's immutable Word.
