What scripture supports the idea that our righteousness is in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 3:22 states that the righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.

The New Testament consistently conveys that the righteousness we need to stand before God is provided entirely through faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 3:22 asserts, 'the righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all who believe'. This indicates that personal righteousness is inadequate and that our standing before God comes from Christ alone. Furthermore, Philippians 3:9 emphasizes that Paul sought to be found in Christ, 'not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ'. Therefore, our righteousness is not based on works or self-effort but is credited to us through faith in Christ's work.
