Why should believers see Christ as their righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Believers see Christ as their righteousness because His perfect obedience is credited to them.

Isaiah 33:15-24 indicates that Christ is the embodiment of righteousness and the fulfillment of the law. No one can stand before God’s judgment based on their merit, but those in Christ are clothed in His righteousness. Paul reinforces this in Philippians 3:9, stating that we are found in Him, not having a righteousness of our own but that which comes through faith in Christ. This understanding transforms our view of salvation and assures us that in Christ, our guilt is removed, and we stand justified before God, reflecting the beauty of Christ’s work.
