Why is it essential for Christians to believe that Christ is their righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Believing that Christ is our righteousness is essential for Christians as it ensures their justification before God and underscores the sufficiency of Christ's atoning work.

For Christians, the belief that Christ is their righteousness underpins the doctrine of justification. According to Acts 13:38-39, it is solely through Christ's work that believers are declared righteous before God. This means that the life Christ lived and the death He died serve as the grounds for our acceptance before a holy God. If righteousness were to be achieved by our efforts, we would be in despair, but recognizing Christ as our righteousness offers true hope and assurance.
