How does one obtain righteousness according to the Bible?

Answered in 2 sources

Righteousness is obtained by faith in Christ alone, not through works of the law (Galatians 2:21).

The Bible teaches that no one can obtain righteousness by the works of the law but only by faith in Christ. Galatians 2:21 emphasizes that trying to be justified by the law negates the grace of God. Believers are righteous before God not due to their own efforts but because they are united with Christ, who fulfilled the law's demands on their behalf. Christ established that perfect righteousness for His people, making it clear that our standing before God rests solely on Him rather than on our own merit.
