How does Romans 10 explain righteousness based on faith?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 10 explains that righteousness based on faith does not require us to attain it through works but to trust in the finished work of Christ.

In Romans 10, Paul delineates between righteousness based on faith versus that based on the law. He argues that righteousness through faith is internal and accessible to all believers, aligning with God’s promise (Romans 10:8-10). The key truth is that faith in Christ, who fulfilled the law's requirements, establishes our righteousness before God. This understanding denotes that salvation does not involve striving to fulfill the law, but rather trusting in Christ's accomplished work. Paul uses a referential connection back to Deuteronomy, reminding us that the word of faith is near us, as it is found in the heart and mouth, stressing the simplicity of trusting in God’s promises.
