How does righteousness affect salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Righteousness is central to salvation as it is through Christ's imputed righteousness that believers are justified and saved.

Righteousness plays a critical role in the salvation of believers. According to Romans 5:1, 'Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' This righteousness is not based on human works but is imputed to believers through faith in Christ. His obedience to the law provides a perfect righteousness that fulfills God’s requirement for salvation. Thus, without the righteousness of Christ, believers would remain condemned under the law, but through faith, they are counted as righteous and accepted by God.
