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

Answered in 2 sources

God's righteousness is essential for salvation because it aligns with His character and is revealed through the gospel.

The righteousness of God is foundational to the concept of salvation in a sovereign grace framework. As stated in the sermon, God is perfectly righteous, which means His salvation must also reflect this attribute. Romans 1:16-17 explains that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, 'for therein is the righteousness of God revealed.' This indicates that our salvation, which we receive by faith, is rooted in God’s justice being satisfied through Christ’s atoning sacrifice. Thus, understanding and accepting God’s righteousness is crucial for believers as it assures them of their justified status and peace with God.
