Why is Christ our only righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is our only righteousness because He fulfills the law perfectly and bears our sins on the cross.

In the Reformed perspective, Christ is viewed as the sole source of righteousness for believers. The law, while holy and just, does not justify anyone; it reveals our sinfulness. As stated in Romans, Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. The concept of Christ as our righteousness is crucial because it underscores that our acceptance before God is not based on personal merit but solely on Christ's perfect obedience and sacrifice. He stood in our place, taking upon Himself the guilt of our sins and providing us with His righteousness, ensuring that we are clothed in His merit before the Father.
