Why is the concept of Jesus' righteousness important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' righteousness is crucial for Christians because it provides the basis for their acceptance and justification before God.

In Reformed theology, the righteousness of Christ is central to the doctrine of justification. Romans 4:23-25 illustrates that righteousness is imputed to believers through faith in Jesus’ sacrificial work. This means that what Christ accomplished—His death, burial, and resurrection—fulfills the law's demands and secures acceptance from God for all who are united with Him. The importance lies in the fact that our standing before God does not rely on our works but solely on the perfect righteousness of Christ, which has been granted to us by faith.
