How does the righteousness of Christ cover our sins?

Answered in 1 source

The righteousness of Christ covers our sins by being imputed to believers through faith, making them acceptable before God.

In Reformed theology, the righteousness of Christ is essential for salvation. As demonstrated in the sermon, God covers Adam and Eve's nakedness with, effectively foreshadowing the ultimate covering provided by Christ’s righteousness. When believers trust in Christ, His perfect righteousness is imputed to them, meaning they are considered righteous before God. This is not based on their own works, which are likened to filthy rags, but entirely on the merits of Christ's sacrifice. Thus, through faith, believers are clothed in the righteousness of Christ, enabling their acceptance before a holy God.
