Why is Christ's imputed righteousness important for believers?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's imputed righteousness is crucial because it allows believers to stand justified before God.

Imputed righteousness refers to the divine crediting of Christ's perfect obedience and righteousness to the believer’s account. This is substantial since, according to Romans 3:23, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Through faith in Christ, believers receive His righteousness, thus enabling them to stand justified before the Father, as noted in Romans 5:1. Without this imputation, we would not have access to God's presence or any hope of redemption.
