Why is believing in Christ's righteousness important for believers?
Answered in 1 source
Believers are saved and accepted by God solely through the righteousness of Christ, not by their deeds.
The importance of Christ's righteousness cannot be overstated in the life of a believer. As emphasized in the message, believers often reflect on their shortcomings and mistakes, leading to feelings of disappointment with themselves. However, true satisfaction and acceptance before God come from being clothed in the righteousness of Christ. This righteousness, as taught in Romans 3:22, is the only means by which God can justify sinners. By resting fully on Christ's perfect obedience and sacrifice, believers can face their mortality without fear, knowing they will stand acceptable before God on the basis of Jesus' finished work.
