What is the significance of Christ’s righteousness in God’s sight?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's righteousness is crucial because it is the only basis upon which we can be accepted and justified in God's sight.

According to Romans 3:22, 'the righteousness of God which is by faith is unto all and upon all them that believe.' This righteousness is essential for justification because, without it, our best efforts remain tainted by sin. In the sight of God, our own righteousness is deemed insufficient. In contrast, Christ's perfect obedience and sacrificial death provide the necessary righteousness that is imputed to believers. Therefore, understanding Christ's righteousness as our substitutionary atonement reassures us of our acceptance before a holy God, allowing us to stand justified and secure in His sight.
