Why is it important for Christians to rely on Christ for righteousness?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's righteousness is the only means by which we can stand before God; our own efforts are insufficient.

The Bible teaches that all our righteousness is as filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6) and emphasizes that we cannot earn our standing before God through our works. Christ’s perfect righteousness is imputed to believers, which is the foundation of our justification before God. Romans 3:20 notes that no one will be declared righteous through the law, highlighting the necessity of relying on Christ, who fulfilled the law and perfectly accomplished our redemption.
