How does the judgment of God relate to the righteousness of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

God's judgment is based on the righteousness of Christ, where believers are judged by Christ's merit rather than their own.

The biblical teaching asserts that God's judgment is centered on the righteousness of Christ, as articulated in Revelation 8:5, where the prayers and sacrifices of the saints ascend before God through Christ's intercession. Those who stand in Christ are evaluated by His perfect righteousness. This assures believers that they are not judged according to their flawed works but are covered by the merit of Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection. As Romans 3 emphasizes, every attempt to justify oneself is futile, and only through Christ’s righteousness can one stand accepted before a holy God at the final judgment.
