Why is Jesus Christ called 'the Lord our righteousness'?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is called 'the Lord our righteousness' because He fully accomplished the work of salvation for His people.

The title 'the Lord our righteousness' signifies that Jesus Himself is the source of our righteousness, achieved through His life, death, and resurrection. This concept, rooted in Jeremiah 23:5-6, emphasizes that it is by Christ's atoning work that believers are justified and made righteous before God. His sacrificial death satisfied divine justice, as all the guilt and punishment due to sin were placed upon Him. Therefore, any hope for righteousness must come through faith in Christ, affirming that our right standing before God is fully attributed to Him, not to our own works or righteousness.
