What does it mean that Christ is our wisdom and righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Christ being our wisdom and righteousness means that we possess these attributes through Him, not by our own merit.

As stated in 1 Corinthians 1:30, 'But of Him, you are in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.' This verse underscores the idea that all that we are as believers comes from Christ alone. He does not merely provide wisdom and righteousness; He embodies them. This radical truth assures us that our standing before God does not depend on our actions or inherent value, but solely on Christ’s perfect obedience and sacrificial work on the cross. As such, believers are called to boast only in the Lord.
