How does the righteousness of Christ affect believers?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's righteousness transforms believers, granting them a new nature and enabling them to live in accordance with God's will.

The righteousness of Christ profoundly affects believers by imparting both positional and practical righteousness. At the moment of faith, believers are declared righteous in God's sight due to Christ's perfect obedience and sacrifice. This is illustrated in Romans 5:1, which proclaims that we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Furthermore, through the new birth, believers receive a new nature that desires to serve and honor God. This transformative work leads to a life characterized by fruitfulness and obedience to God's commands, as believers are empowered by the Holy Spirit to live righteously, reflecting Christ's character in their lives.
