What is the significance of Christ's righteousness for believers?
Answered in 2 sources
Christ's righteousness is significant as it is imputed to believers, granting them full acceptance before God, as stated in Romans 10:4.
The righteousness of Christ is pivotal for every believer because it ensures that we stand justified before God. Romans 10:4 notes that 'Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.' This means that through faith, we are not only forgiven but we are also credited with Christ's perfect righteousness. This imputation of righteousness transforms our status from guilty sinners to accepted sons and daughters of God. It highlights the distinction between our own unrighteousness and the perfect merit of Christ, emphasizing the grace that sustains our relationship with God.
