What does it mean that deliverance comes by righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Deliverance by righteousness refers to salvation granted to believers as a result of Christ's righteousness, not their own acts.

The concept of deliverance through righteousness entails that salvation is based solely on the righteousness of Christ applied to believers. In Ezekiel 14:14, it is stated that Noah, Daniel, and Job would be delivered by their righteousness, emphasizing that any righteousness seen in them is not a product of their works but is representative of the righteousness that God provides. This aligns with Reformed theology, which posits that believers are justified and saved through faith in Christ alone. Their lives may exhibit fruit consistent with faith, but it is ultimately Christ's redemptive act that accounts for their deliverance.
