Why is seeking Christ's righteousness important for believers?
Answered in 1 source
Seeking Christ's righteousness is vital as it assures believers are clothed in His perfection, which is necessary for acceptance by God.
For believers, seeking Christ's righteousness is essential because it represents their reliance on His perfect obedience rather than their own flawed attempts. The virtuous woman, exemplified in Proverbs 31, seeks wool as a metaphor for being robed in the righteousness of Christ. This pursuit highlights her understanding of her sinful condition and her need for a Savior's covering. By seeking righteousness in Christ, believers reflect a heart transformed by grace, desiring to uphold good works as an expression of gratitude rather than a means to salvation.
