Why is it important for Christians to understand who the righteous are?

Answered in 1 source

Understanding who the righteous are helps Christians grasp the concept of imputed righteousness and their identity in Christ.

The term 'the righteous' refers not only to Christ but also to all who have His righteousness imputed to them. This understanding is foundational for Christians because it clarifies that righteousness comes from Christ, rather than through human effort. The distinctions made in scripture serve to offer believers assurance of their standing before God; they are justified, as established in Romans 4, not by works but by faith. The Righteous are ultimately those who recognize their need for Christ and trust in Him fully for salvation, making this identity crucial for understanding grace and redemption.
