How does one become righteous before God?

Answered in 1 source

One becomes righteous before God through faith in Jesus Christ, who is our righteousness.

Righteousness before God is not achieved through human effort or adherence to the law but is given as a gift through faith in Christ. In Romans 10:10, Paul writes that belief leads to righteousness, emphasizing that justification occurs based on faith alone. This righteousness is not an inherent quality of humans but instead is the result of Christ's perfect obedience and sacrificial death on behalf of sinners. By trusting in Him and His finished work, believers are clothed in His righteousness, enabling them to stand justified before God. This understanding aligns with the principles of the Five Solas, asserting that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
