How do we know the righteousness of God is near?

Isaiah expressed that 'my righteousness is near' (Isaiah 51:5), highlighting that God's righteousness is not a distant concept but a present reality found in Christ. As believers, we understand righteousness through faith in Jesus, who accomplished our redemption through His death and resurrection. This proximity of righteousness allows us to cling to the assurance that, no matter the trials we face, Christ stands as our perfect righteousness, ensuring that we are justified before God, as explained in 1 Corinthians 1:30.
