How do we know the righteousness of Christ is necessary?

Answered in 1 source

The righteousness of Christ is essential because all human efforts are likened to filthy rags and insufficient before God.

The necessity of Christ's righteousness is grounded in the understanding that human righteousness is fundamentally inadequate. Isaiah 64:6 states that 'all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags' in God's sight. This powerful imagery illustrates the futility of trying to cover our sins with our own efforts or good deeds, which cannot stand before a holy God. Only through the righteousness of Christ can we be accepted, as He alone provides the necessary covering for our nakedness and shame. His righteousness is what justifies us before God and allows us to stand in His presence without fear.
