How can I be righteous before God?

Answered in 1 source

Believers can be righteous through union with Christ, imputation of His righteousness, and the gift of faith.

To be considered righteous before God, one must understand the process that God employs. First, believers are made righteous by their union with Jesus Christ, as stated in Hebrews 2:11, which emphasizes that those sanctified and the Sanctifier are one. Second, righteousness is granted through the act of imputation, where God credits the righteousness of Christ to the believer. Romans 4:5 underscores this truth by stating righteousness is accounted through faith. Finally, righteousness is recognized as a gift (Romans 5:17), given freely by God's grace. This multifaceted understanding ensures that believers have a firm foundation of righteousness not based on their merit but entirely on Christ's work.
