How do we know the doctrine of righteousness is true?
Answered in 2 sources
The truth of the doctrine of righteousness is established through Scripture, particularly in the teachings of Jesus and Paul.
The doctrine of righteousness is affirmed in Scripture through both the teachings of Jesus and the apostolic writings. Jesus’ validation of the necessity of righteousness during His baptism (Matthew 3:15) sets the foundation for understanding it as God's standard. Paul further expounds on this in Romans, stating that the righteousness of God is revealed in the Gospel (Romans 1:16). He also articulates that this righteousness is imputed to believers by faith, underscoring that it is not from works but a divine gift. Hence, the truth of the doctrine rests upon authoritative Scriptural evidence.
