How do we know the doctrine of Christ's active obedience is true?

Answered in 1 source

We find assurance in Scripture that Christ's active obedience fulfills the demands of God's law, providing righteousness to believers.

The doctrine of Christ's active obedience is affirmed through various New Testament teachings. In Galatians 4:4, Paul emphasizes that Jesus was made under the law to redeem those under the law. His entire life was marked by perfect obedience, culminating in His fulfillment of the law's demands. This active obedience is essential for our justification; as Romans 5:19 explains, through one man's obedience, many will be made righteous. Furthermore, the writings of theologians and confessions throughout church history affirm this doctrine, indicating its acceptance and theological importance within the Reformed tradition.
