How does faith connect us to Christ's righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Faith serves as the link that unites us with Christ, who is our righteousness.

The relationship between faith and Christ's righteousness is foundational in Reformed theology. Faith is not our righteousness; rather, it connects us to the one who is righteous, Jesus Christ. When we place our faith in Him, we are united with Him in His death and resurrection, thus receiving His righteousness through imputation. This is exemplified in passages such as 2 Corinthians 5:21, which states that God made Jesus, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Our faith ensures that we do not rely on our imperfect works or righteousness, but rest confidently in Christ, who fulfills the law perfectly on our behalf.
