How does Christ’s obedience relate to our righteousness before God?

Answered in 1 source

Christ’s obedience is the basis for our righteousness before God, as He fulfilled the law on our behalf.

The righteousness that believers possess before God is solely based on the obedience of Jesus Christ. Romans 5:19 states that as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Jotham’s example reflects this principle, demonstrating that our standing before God is not contingent upon our works but on Christ's perfect obedience, which satisfies God's justice. Through faith in Christ, we are declared righteous, found in Him, thus bringing us into right relationship with God.
