How do we know righteousness is a gift from God?

Answered in 1 source

Righteousness is imputed to believers by faith, not earned through works (Romans 4:5).

Righteousness is understood as a divine gift, as articulated in Romans 4:5: 'But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.' This shows that it is not through our own efforts or good works that we attain righteousness, but through faith in Christ, who justifies the ungodly. The scripture illustrates that even Abraham was credited with righteousness because of his faith before any works, indicating that righteousness is a matter of belief and divine grace, not human merit.
