How does God's mercy relate to our righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

God's mercy is the foundation of our righteousness, as we are justified through faith in Christ, not by our works.

The relationship between God's mercy and our righteousness is beautifully illustrated in the Gospel. In Christ, we see that God, in His mercy, justifies sinners who believe. As seen in 2 Corinthians 5:21, Christ was made sin for us, so we might become the righteousness of God in Him. This reflects that our righteousness is not by our merit but through faith in Christ alone, emphasizing our reliance on God’s mercy as the source of our standing before Him.
