How do we know the righteousness of God is true?

Answered in 6 sources

The righteousness of God is true as it is fully revealed in Jesus Christ, who is described as 'the Lord our righteousness' (Jeremiah 23:6).

The righteousness of God is affirmed throughout Scripture, particularly in the person of Jesus Christ. Jeremiah 23:6 calls Christ 'the Lord our righteousness,' demonstrating that true righteousness is found only in Him. This righteousness is not based upon the law but is manifested through faith in Christ, as Paul states in Romans 10:4 that 'Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.' Thus, the true nature of divine righteousness is centered in the person and work of Christ, which fulfills God’s demands of justice for His people.
