How can a sinner receive righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

A sinner receives righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ, who imparts His righteousness to them.

According to Scripture, a sinner can receive righteousness as a gracious gift from God through faith. Romans 5:17 emphasizes that righteousness is a gift received by those who put their trust in Christ. The transaction of faith involves acknowledging one’s sinfulness and reliance entirely on Christ's redemptive work for salvation. This act of faith secures the righteousness of Christ for the believer, as they are united with Him. As articulated in 1 John 2:29, when someone is born of God, they have a new nature that cannot sin, thus empowering them to live righteously. Such righteousness is not based on personal merit but entirely on God's grace and mercy.
