How do we know the righteousness of saints is from God?

Answered in 1 source

The righteousness of the saints is a gift from God, not based on personal merit but on Christ's imputed righteousness.

The phrase 'the righteousness of saints' in Revelation 19:8 signifies that believers are clothed in Christ's righteousness, granted to them by God's grace. Isaiah 61:10 and Ezekiel 16:6-14 affirm that human righteousness cannot stand before God; rather, it is God's sovereign grace that redeems and justifies the believer. This imputed righteousness is essential, as it is through faith that believers receive Christ's perfect righteousness, making them acceptable before God.
