How do we know that we lack righteousness without Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Christ teaches that we lack righteousness when we rely on our works rather than on Him, as demonstrated in Mark 10.

In Mark 10, Christ encounters a rich young ruler who believes he can achieve eternal life through his own merit. Jesus redirects him to the commandments, revealing that true goodness and righteousness belong solely to God. The man's realization of lacking the righteous perfection necessary for communion with God demonstrates that without Christ, our best efforts are insufficient. The sermon emphasizes that recognizing our lack of righteousness is essential to understanding our need for Christ, the sole source of true righteousness. Only through His perfect obedience can we be made right before God.
