Why is the righteousness of Christ important for believers?

Answered in 6 sources

The righteousness of Christ is essential for believers as it protects them from God's wrath and reconciles them to God.

Believers are protected from God's wrath through the righteousness of Christ, which is described metaphorically in the sermon as a white fence surrounding the tabernacle. Christ's righteousness enables believers to stand in the holy presence of God, ensuring that they are not condemned for their sins. Romans 3:21 teaches that the righteousness of God is accessible through faith in Jesus Christ; thus, believing in Him allows individuals to become righteous. This relational dynamic highlights that the believer's acceptance before God is solely based on Christ’s perfect obedience and sacrifice.
