Why must Christ be our righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is our righteousness because God requires perfect righteousness for acceptance.

The Bible teaches that God demands perfect righteousness to enter His presence. Abel's acceptance by God was linked to his righteousness as evidenced by faith. However, all human efforts fall short of God's glory, making the need for an adequate substitute essential. Christ is our righteousness because He fulfilled the law and perfectly obeyed God. His bloodshed provides the needed atonement for our sins, allowing us access to God’s grace and ensuring our standing before Him.
