What does it mean to be righteous in God's eyes?

Answered in 2 sources

To be righteous in God's eyes means to be justified by faith in Christ and receiving His righteousness as a gift.

Being righteous in God's eyes is intimately tied to the concept of justification by faith. It involves recognizing that, apart from Christ, our own righteousness is as 'filthy rags' (Isaiah 64:6). True righteousness comes from Christ alone, who died to redeem sinners and who bestows His righteousness upon those who believe. This divine righteousness results in a transformed heart and life, enabling believers to produce good works that reflect God's glory. Righteousness, therefore, is not self-achieved but is a gracious gift from God, ensuring that believers can stand justified before Him.
