Why is Christ our only source of righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus Christ alone provides us with the righteousness required for our justification before God.

According to Philippians 3:9, believers are justified not by their own righteousness derived from the law, but through faith in Christ, who is our righteousness. This absolute dependence on Christ's perfection is pivotal, as we are unable to attain righteousness on our own due to our sinful nature. Therefore, Jesus fulfills the law's demands on our behalf and grants us His righteousness, which allows believers to stand justified before God. This doctrine emphasizes that our hope for eternal life rests solely upon Christ's completed work, affirming the sufficiency of His righteousness for our salvation.
