What does the Bible say about Christ as our righteousness?

Answered in 8 sources

The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is called 'The Lord Our Righteousness,' and He embodies perfect righteousness, fulfilling the law of God entirely.

In Jeremiah 23:6, we read that Jesus is named 'The Lord Our Righteousness.' This name signifies that He is not just a provider of righteousness but the very embodiment of it. Throughout His life, Christ lived in perfect obedience to God's law, fulfilling all its demands, and thereby, He is indeed righteousness itself. He fulfilled what no man could, demonstrating that He is the only source of true righteousness for His people.
