What does it mean that the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

The righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel as the means by which sinners are justified through faith in Christ.

The righteousness of God mentioned in Romans 1:17 refers to the justifying righteousness provided to believers through faith in Jesus Christ. This righteousness is not of our own making but is imputed to us through Christ's perfect obedience and sacrificial death. The phrase "from faith to faith" implies that as believers grow in their understanding of God’s righteousness revealed in the gospel, their faith deepens and matures. This revelation shifts the believer's reliance from personal effort to trusting in the righteousness of Christ alone, which is the foundation of their standing before God.
