How do we know God's righteousness is revealed in the gospel?

Answered in 4 sources

God's righteousness is revealed in the gospel by the imputation of Christ's righteousness to believers, as shown in Romans 1:17.

Romans 1:17 articulates, 'For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.' This verse emphasizes that the righteousness God requires is not based on our works, but is instead a righteousness that is freely given to those who believe in Christ. This righteousness is imputed to sinners who trust in Jesus, enabling them to stand justified before God. The righteousness revealed in the gospel assures believers that they are counted as righteous not due to their own merit, but through the perfect obedience and sacrifice of Christ. Thus, it is a foundation of faith and assurance for all who are saved.
