Why is relying on Christ's righteousness important?

Answered in 1 source

Relying on Christ's righteousness is crucial because our own righteousness cannot merit salvation.

The necessity of relying on the righteousness of Christ stems from the teaching that our own acts of righteousness cannot commend us to God. In light of Scripture, we understand that even our best works are tainted by sin and cannot achieve justification. This is why it is pivotal to abandon trust in our self-righteousness and fully embrace Christ’s perfect righteousness as the sole basis for our acceptance before God. By acknowledging our need for His grace, we recognize that His merit is sufficient for us, assuring us of our standing before the Father.
