How do we know we will see God's face in righteousness?
Answered in 1 source
The assurance of seeing God's face in righteousness comes from our standing in Christ, as highlighted in passages like 2 Corinthians 5:21.
Our confidence in seeing God's face in righteousness is rooted in the exchange we have in Christ. In 2 Corinthians 5:21, it states, 'For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.' This underscores that through faith in Christ, we are not only justified but also given a right standing before God. The psalmist’s declaration, 'I shall see your face in righteousness,' reflects this assurance that believers will one day behold God's glory. Because of Christ's work on our behalf, His righteousness is credited to us, allowing us to stand before God without fear on the Day of Judgment.
