How do we receive righteousness before God?

Answered in 1 source

Righteousness is received by faith in Jesus Christ, not by our own works.

Righteousness before God cannot be obtained through works or adherence to the law; it is received by faith. Romans 5:19 states that through the obedience of one, many will be made righteous, highlighting that it is Christ's righteousness that is imputed to believers. This imputation occurs when one's faith looks to Christ alone for righteousness, meaning that belief, rather than action or morality, is the means by which we are justified and accepted by God.
