How do we know we are judged by Christ's righteousness?

According to Scripture, our standing before God is not based on our own deeds but on the completed work of Jesus Christ. In Ephesians 2:1, Paul reminds us that we are 'dead in trespasses and sins,' indicating that we cannot earn righteousness on our own. Instead, when we stand before God on the judgment day, those who are in Christ will be recognized as righteous because of His sacrifice. This assurance allows believers to have hope and confidence, knowing that they are justified not through their works but through faith in Christ's righteousness.
