How does Christ's righteousness affect believers?

Answered in 3 sources

Christ's righteousness is credited to believers, granting them a perfect standing before God and assurance of salvation.

The righteousness of Christ is essential for believers as it serves as their foundation for justification and assurance of salvation. In Romans 10:4, Paul states that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes, which signifies that through faith in Christ, believers are no longer bound by the law's demands but are justified through His obedience and sacrifice. This leads to a transformative understanding that believers are seen as perfectly righteous before God, as illustrated in 1 Corinthians 1:30, where Christ is made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. The results of possessing Christ's righteousness include peace, joy, and the proper motivation for living a life that glorifies God, for they have been forgiven and made new.
