Why is Christ's righteousness compared to a garment?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's righteousness is compared to a garment because it covers our spiritual nakedness and shame.

In the sermon, Christ's righteousness is beautifully illustrated as a garment that provides necessary coverage. Just as clothing conceals our nakedness and protects us from the elements, so too does Christ's righteousness cover our sins and shame before God. Isaiah 64:6 explains that all our righteousness is as filthy rags, emphasizing our need for a ‘new garment’ that only Christ can provide. This new garment is not only practical but also ornamental—transforming believers and signifying their new status as children of God. The righteousness of Christ elevates and adorns us in a way that our efforts never could, reflecting the beauty of being united with Him in faith.
