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

Answered in 1 source

God's righteousness is essential to salvation because it is the standard by which all are judged, and it can only be attained through faith in Christ.

The concept of God's essential righteousness is foundational in Reformed theology. It is declared that God cannot act contrary to His nature, meaning that His righteousness must be maintained in all His dealings with humanity. Romans 10:5 clearly states that the righteousness of the law cannot be achieved by human efforts; thus, it highlights the necessity of Christ's righteousness, which is imputed to believers through faith. In Christ, God upholds His justice while also providing mercy, demonstrating that His righteousness is not only a requirement but also a gift granted to those who believe.
