How do we know the righteousness of God is through faith in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that true righteousness comes through faith in Christ, not through our own works (Philippians 3:9).

In Philippians 3:9, Paul emphasizes that he does not wish to be found having his own righteousness based on law-keeping, but instead, desires to be found in Christ with the righteousness that comes from God through faith. This doctrine is fundamental in Reformed theology, which teaches that justification before God is solely based on God's grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ. The righteousness of Christ, His perfect obedience to the law, is credited to the believer, making it possible for them to stand before God without condemnation. This highlights the essence of the Gospel—that we are justified not by our works, but by faith alone.
