How do we know the standard of righteousness for judgment?

Answered in 1 source

The standard of righteousness for divine judgment is perfect satisfaction to God's law, embodied in Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul outlines the standard of judgment in Acts 17:30-31, where he writes that God has appointed a day to judge the world in righteousness through Jesus Christ, whom He raised from the dead. This emphasizes that Christ is the standard by which all will be judged. Romans 3:10 emphasizes that there is none righteous, which underscores the need for a perfect substitute to fulfill God's law on our behalf. Thus, our works will be judged based on their alignment with Christ's righteousness, not our personal merit or attempts to establish our own. Salvation and the good works that are expected of believers are the result of God's grace and are affirmed through our relationship with Christ. In essence, our standing before God in judgment hinges upon whether we are in Christ, the ultimate measure of righteousness.
