What does the Bible say about Christ as our righteousness?

In Jeremiah 23:6, it is explicitly stated that Christ is called 'the Lord our righteousness.' This emphasizes that salvation is not based on our own merit but on the imputed righteousness of Christ. His righteousness is what allows us to stand justified before God. This is the foundational truth of the Gospel, as affirmed in Romans 10:4, where Christ is described as the culmination of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. In a world that often seeks righteousness through works, this scriptural truth reminds us that only through Christ's sacrifice and righteousness can we be reconciled to God.
