What does the Bible say about Jesus Christ as our righteousness?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus Christ is made unto us righteousness, meaning He fulfills the requirements for our justification by His obedience and sacrifice.

In 1 Corinthians 1:30, we learn that Jesus Christ is not just a figure of salvation but is actively made unto us righteousness. This signifies that He is the source of our justifying righteousness. We stand justified before God, not on the basis of our works, but through the imputation of Christ's righteousness. Romans 3:10 states that there is none righteous, and hence, we are entirely dependent on Christ to fulfill the law's requirements. His death and obedience provide the legal standing we need before God, illustrating the depth of His role in our salvation.
