How does faith connect us to the righteousness of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Faith connects us to Christ’s righteousness by accepting God’s provision for our justification and salvation.

Faith acts as the conduit through which believers receive the righteousness of Christ. Romans 3:22 states, 'This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.' It signifies not merely intellectual assent, but a deep trust and reliance on Jesus for salvation. When a person places their faith in Him, they are united with Christ in a way that His righteousness is imputed to them, and their sins are transferred to Him. This legal transaction is a pivotal aspect of the gospel, as Romans 5:1 explains, 'Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' Through faith, believers are assured of their standing before God, justified not by their works but by the grace available in Christ’s redemptive work.
