How do we know the righteousness of God is true?

Answered in 12 sources

The righteousness of God is affirmed in Scripture as both an immutable attribute of God and as revealed through Jesus Christ's atoning work.

The truth of God’s righteousness is supported by numerous scriptural references that affirm His perfect nature. For example, in Psalm 145:17, David writes, 'The Lord is righteous in all his ways.' Additionally, in Romans 3:24-26, Paul highlights the reconciliatory nature of God’s righteousness made evident through Christ’s sacrifice. God's righteousness is grounded not only in His character but is also manifest in His dealings with humanity, ensuring that His justice is satisfied through the atonement. This righteousness is also vital for the believer's standing before God, as their acceptance rests on Christ’s imputed righteousness, fulfilling the law's demands.
