How do we know God's righteousness is true?

Answered in 27 sources

God's righteousness is true as it is exemplified in Christ, whose perfect obedience fulfills the law and is imputed to believers (Romans 1:16-17).

God's righteousness is revealed and verified through the life and work of Jesus Christ. In Romans 1:16-17, it is stated that the gospel is the power of God for salvation, wherein the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. This righteousness is not based on human actions but is granted to believers through faith in Christ. Further, Scripture elucidates that righteousness is imputed to believers—meaning, it's counted as theirs through their union with Christ. This divine righteousness, rooted in Christ’s atoning work, assures believers of their justified standing before God, confirming the truth and reliability of God’s righteousness.
