What does it mean to be righteous in the eyes of God?

Answered in 2 sources

Being righteous means having a right standing before God through faith in Jesus Christ.

Righteousness according to the Bible is not based on human efforts but is a gift from God through faith in Christ. In Psalm 33, the psalmist addresses those who are 'righteous' as the ones who are accepted before God because of their faith. This righteousness is imputed by God, meaning that believers are declared righteous through the redemptive work of Jesus, not by their actions. This understanding reassures believers that their acceptance before God is secure, thereby encouraging a lifestyle of praise and worship.
