Why is it important for Christians to declare the righteousness of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

It is essential for Christians to declare Christ's righteousness as it is the only means by which we are accepted before God.

Declaring the righteousness of Christ is foundational to the Christian faith because it acknowledges that our acceptance before God is based solely on His righteousness and not our own. In Psalm 22:31, it states, 'They shall come and shall declare His righteousness.' This emphasizes that true believers recognize that Jesus Christ is our only righteousness, as articulated in 1 Corinthians 1:30, where Paul writes that Christ is made unto us wisdom, righteousness, and redemption. By declaring Christ's righteousness, Christians affirm that salvation is a work of God, and they give glory to Him for what He has accomplished on their behalf. Such declarations also encourage faith in the gospel, enabling others to witness the truth of God's grace and mercy.
