How does Christ obtain righteousness for the elect?

Christ's role as the representative of His people is fundamentally important in the acquisition of righteousness. In fulfilling the law completely—every letter and spirit—He secures righteousness not merely for Himself but for all who believe. Romans 3:22 states that the righteousness of God is accessible to all who have faith in Christ. His fulfillment of the law is crucial because, through it, He magnifies God’s law and demonstrates its ultimate purpose. This perfect obedience is credited to believers, signifying that their standing before God is not based on their works but solely on Christ’s accomplished work.
