How do we know that God's righteousness is essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's righteousness is essential for salvation as it is the only means by which sinners can be justified before Him.

The necessity of God's righteousness for salvation is rooted in the doctrine of total depravity, which indicates that all humanity is sinful and incapable of achieving righteousness by their own efforts. Romans 3:10-12 affirms that there are none righteous, no, not one. The imputed righteousness of Christ becomes essential, as it is only by His perfect obedience and atoning sacrifice that we are justified. This doctrine not only emphasizes the need for God's grace but also reassures believers that their justification is secure in Christ alone, and not in their works or merits.
