How do we know Christ's message is about God's righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's message is fundamentally about God's righteousness, which He preached to fulfill God's will as recorded in scripture.

The central theme of Christ's preaching was God's righteousness, as seen in Psalm 40 where it is expressed that He has not concealed God's righteousness. This is reiterated in the New Testament, where the Apostle Paul emphasizes that righteousness comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone (Romans 3:22). Furthermore, Christ distinguishes between human righteousness—often found lacking—and the righteousness provided by God through His Son. In Romans 10:3, Paul speaks of the ignorance of the Jews, who sought to establish their own righteousness rather than submitting to God's. Therefore, Christ's message is rooted in the declaration of God's righteousness, which is accessible through faith for all who believe.
