What is the significance of Christ's righteousness?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's righteousness is significant because it is the basis for our justification before God, as we are credited with His perfect obedience.
The doctrine of Christ's righteousness is central to the gospel message. Romans 10:4 states that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. This means that our justification is not based on our adherence to the law but on the perfect righteousness of Christ. When we accept Christ by faith, His righteousness is imputed to us, allowing us to stand before God not only as forgiven but as justified and declared righteous. This truth is vital to Christian assurance; knowing that we are clothed in Christ's righteousness rather than our flawed attempts meets the requirements of God's perfect justice.
