What role does Christ play in righteousness by faith?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is the source of our righteousness and the object of our faith.

In the context of righteousness by faith, Christ plays a central role as the embodiment of the righteousness that God requires for salvation. He fulfills the law perfectly, and His righteousness is imputed to believers as a result of their faith in Him. According to Romans 3:22, the righteousness of God is manifested through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all who believe. This underscores that our faith is not based on our personal goodness or works but solely on Christ's sacrifice and obedience, which fully satisfies God's justice. Therefore, righteousness by faith points to the believer's reliance on Christ as their Redeemer and the foundation for life in Him.
