How do we attain true righteousness according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

True righteousness is attained through faith in Jesus Christ, not by the works of the law.

The Bible presents a clear message that true righteousness is found not in human efforts but through faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 10:3-4 states, 'For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.' The righteousness from God is made available to all who believe in Christ, underscoring that salvation is through grace alone. Therefore, we are called to rely on Christ's finished work on the cross instead of our deeds, recognizing that our attempts at righteousness are insufficient and flawed, as expressed in Isaiah 64:6, where even our best deeds are seen as filthy rags before God.
