Why is the righteousness of Christ important to believers?

Answered in 1 source

The righteousness of Christ is the basis of believers' justification before God, replacing their own unrighteousness.

The importance of Christ's righteousness for believers cannot be overstated, for it is what justifies us before a holy God. Romans 4 emphasizes that blessing comes from God crediting righteousness apart from works. As believers, we are justified by faith and clothed in Christ’s righteousness, which is our wedding garment at the marriage supper of the Lamb (Matthew 22:12). This divine exchange highlights our dependence on Jesus’ work on the cross for our salvation and ensures that we are no longer seen in our sinful state, but as righteous in God’s sight through Christ.
