How do we know God's standard for righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

God's standard for righteousness is absolute holiness, as stated in Scripture (1 Peter 1:16).

God's standard for righteousness is his perfect holiness, illustrated when He commands His people to be holy, for He is holy (1 Peter 1:16). This means that for one to be accepted by God, they must meet this standard of holiness. The Scriptures emphasize that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), aligning humanity's fallen state with the need for a mediator. Jesus Christ, who embodies the perfect righteousness, fulfills this standard on behalf of believers, ensuring that they can be accepted in God's sight. Therefore, understanding God's absolute standard directs us to rely solely upon Christ's atonement for salvation.
