What does it mean that Christ reveals God's righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Christ reveals God's righteousness through His life, death, and resurrection, providing the means for believers to be justified before God.

The revelation of God's righteousness through Christ is a profound truth that signifies how God justifies sinners through faith in Jesus. As noted in the sermon, Jesus is described as 'the Lord our righteousness,' fulfilling all righteousness on behalf of His people. Romans 1:16-17 states, 'For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith.' This indicates that the righteousness needed to stand before a holy God is found in Christ alone. When a believer is united with Christ through faith, God sees them as clothed in Christ's righteousness, thus allowing them direct access to His presence. This doctrine reassures us of God's justice and mercy, making us confident in our salvation.
