How does one attain true righteousness according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

True righteousness is attained through faith in Jesus Christ, who is our righteousness before God.

According to the Bible, true righteousness is not based on our own works but is given to us through faith in Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:9 states, 'And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.' This signifies that we receive Christ’s righteousness by believing in Him and His finished work on the cross. Our belief enables us to be counted as righteous before God, underscoring that salvation is a gift, not a result of our merit.
