What does it mean to submit to Christ's righteousness?
Answered in 1 source
Submitting to Christ's righteousness means recognizing that we cannot achieve righteousness on our own and accepting His perfect righteousness as our own.
To submit to Christ's righteousness involves a posture of humility and surrender. It means acknowledging our inability to attain any form of righteousness through our efforts, as indicated in Romans 3:10, which states that no one is righteous. Instead, we are called to trust in the perfect righteousness of Christ, who fulfilled the law on our behalf and offers His righteousness as a gift. Philippians 3:9 teaches that we must be found in Him, not having a righteousness of our own, but that which comes through faith in Christ. This submission is an act of faith that brings us into union with Him.
