How does one do righteousness?

The expression 'doing righteousness' is not about performing good deeds to earn acceptance but is rather an outcome of being born of God through faith in Christ. As articulated in 1 John 2:29, those who practice righteousness are born of Him. This means that true righteousness flows from a relationship with Christ, who fulfilled the law perfectly. Doing righteousness is about reflecting Christ’s character in our lives as a response to His redemptive work—acknowledging that our efforts do not contribute to our justification but are a demonstration of our faith in Him.
