What is the significance of Christ being our righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is our righteousness, ensuring that believers are justified before God through His perfect obedience.

The significance of Christ being our righteousness cannot be overstated; it's foundational to Reformed theology. He is our righteousness because through His perfect obedience to the law, He fulfills all righteousness on our behalf. Romans 5:19 declares that ‘through one man's obedience many will be made righteous.’ This means that believers are not justified by their works but by the righteousness of Christ imputed to them. This vital truth gives freedom from the burden of trying to earn God's favor and establishes the security that comes from being united to Him, ensuring believers stand justified in God's sight.
