How do we know who the righteous are according to Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

The righteous are identified as those who place their faith in Christ's righteousness, rather than their own works.

Scripture, specifically in Romans 9:30-31, points to the distinction of the righteous as those who attain righteousness through faith, not by their own efforts or adherence to the law. The true righteousness comes from Christ, who fulfills the law on behalf of believers. Therefore, the righteous are those who recognize their sinful nature and the inadequacy of their works, placing their trust entirely on Jesus for salvation. This faith results in a transformation where they no longer depend on their merits but rejoice in the grace and imputed righteousness of Christ. This understanding is crucial, as many may assume self-righteousness based on tradition or morality, yet true righteousness is a gift of grace.
