What does it mean to say Christ is our righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is our righteousness because He perfectly fulfills the law on behalf of His people.

The phrase 'Christ is our righteousness' refers to the idea that believers are justified not by their works, but through faith in Christ who fulfills the law's requirements. Jeremiah 23:6 names Jesus as 'the Lord our righteousness,' demonstrating that His righteousness, imputed to us, is the basis of our standing before God. This truth assures Christians that their acceptance before God is solely based on Christ's perfect work, freeing them from reliance on their imperfect efforts.
