Why is faith in Christ necessary for righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ is essential because it is through faith that believers receive the righteousness of God.

The necessity of faith in Christ for acquiring righteousness is central to Reformed theology. As stated in Romans 1:17, 'For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith; as it is written, 'The just shall live by faith.' This emphasizes that righteousness comes not from our own deeds but from our belief in Christ and His completed work. Philippians 3:9 explains that being found in Christ is essential for being accepted before God, as true righteousness—the kind that can justify—is entirely based on faith, not on what we can achieve independently.
