Why is Christ considered our righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is our righteousness because He perfectly fulfills the law and provides a way for sinners to be declared righteous before God.

In Reformed theology, Christ is recognized as our righteousness because He meets all the demands of the law on our behalf. Scripture teaches that we are far from righteousness on our own and incapable of pleasing God through our efforts. Christ fulfills every requirement of the law, living a sinless life and ultimately sacrificing Himself for sin. Through faith in Him, believers are imputed with His righteousness, ensuring that they can stand justified before God. This understanding highlights the centrality of Christ in salvation, emphasizing His role not just as Savior but as the very basis of our right standing with God.
