How do we know God's righteousness is the only righteousness accepted?
Answered in 1 source
God's righteousness is exclusively the standard by which we are justified, as taught in Romans 4:5.
The Bible repeatedly affirms that God's righteousness is the sole basis on which we stand justified before Him. Romans 4:5 states, 'But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.' This underscores that any attempt to establish our own righteousness is futile. All human efforts at attaining righteousness fall short and are likened to 'filthy rags' (Isaiah 64:6). The righteousness of Christ, imputed to believers through faith, is highlighted throughout scriptures, demonstrating that salvation hinges entirely on God's provision and not on our merit.
