What does it mean to have Christ as our one righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Christ alone is our righteousness, fulfilling the law and providing what God requires for our salvation.

The theme of Christ as our one righteousness runs throughout the sermon, particularly highlighted in Mark 10 and Philippians 3. In Mark 10, Jesus teaches that the young ruler's self-reliance proves his lack of true righteousness. The sermon emphasizes that as believers, we are to rely wholly on Christ, as He is the Law-keeper whose righteousness is credited to us by faith. Paul in Philippians 3:8-9 articulates this reality as he counts all things as loss in pursuit of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ, seeking to be found in Him, not having his own righteousness. Our righteousness before God is entirely derived from Christ’s finished work.
