Why is understanding righteousness through Christ important?

Answered in 1 source

Understanding righteousness through Christ is vital because it underscores that salvation is based solely on Christ's righteousness, not our own.

In Romans 10:4, Paul articulates that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. This emphasizes that true righteousness is found not in our works or adherence to the law, but exclusively in the person and work of Jesus Christ. The church teaches that everyone must come to this recognition; our attempts to establish our own righteousness ultimately fail, leading to destruction. Recognizing Christ's righteousness as the sole basis for justification assures believers of their acceptance before God, and fosters humility and gratitude in our relationship with Him.
