How do we know the doctrine of self-righteousness is true?

Answered in 1 source

Self-righteousness is affirmed in Scripture as a dangerous state that separates individuals from true faith in Christ.

The doctrine of self-righteousness is thoroughly supported in the Scriptures, especially in Romans 10, where it discusses how Israel sought righteousness through their own deeds rather than submitting to God's righteousness. This inherent self-righteousness stems from a human tendency to justify oneself through works, which is in direct opposition to the Gospel of grace. The Bible consistently emphasizes that true righteousness is only found in Christ, and any attempts to establish righteousness based on human effort leads to spiritual blindness and ultimately condemnation. Recognizing our genuine sinful state is crucial for understanding the necessity of Christ's atoning work.
