Why is it important to believe in Christ for righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Believing in Christ is crucial for righteousness, as it is His righteousness that is imputed to believers.

The doctrine of imputed righteousness is foundational to the Christian faith, as articulated in Romans 1:16-17. We are declared righteous before God not by our works or adherence to the law but solely through faith in Jesus Christ. He bore the sins of His people and, in exchange, provides His perfect righteousness. This is essential because, without belief in Christ, we cannot claim rights to eternal life, which is fundamentally a gift of grace. Trusting in His finished work is the only way for sinners to stand justified before a holy God.
