What does it mean to be righteous by faith?

Answered in 1 source

Being righteous by faith means trusting in Christ's righteousness rather than one's own, resulting in justification before God.

To be righteous by faith signifies that a believer places their trust not in their own works or perceived goodness but in the completed work of Christ. This allows God to credit Christ’s righteousness to the believer, making them justified in God’s eyes. Hebrews 11:1 describes faith as the assurance of things hoped for, meaning that the evidence of one's righteousness comes from believing in Christ’s ability to save and justify. Thus, faith acts as a conduit through which God's grace and Christ's righteousness are applied to the believer.
