What does it mean to be an heir of righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

To be an heir of righteousness means receiving God's righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ, akin to Noah's faith.

Being an heir of righteousness means that believers, like Noah, are granted righteousness not based on their own deeds but through faith in Christ. Romans 10 speaks of a righteousness that comes from God, available not by works but by believing in the heart and confessing with the mouth that Jesus is Lord. This understanding of righteousness emphasizes that believers stand justified before God, not because of their own merits but because they are united with Christ, who fulfilled all righteousness. As Noah was considered righteous due to his faith, so likewise, believers today are viewed as righteous through their faith in Jesus.
