What does it mean to live unto righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Living unto righteousness means conducting one's life according to God's standards and the example set by Christ.

In 1 Peter 2:24-25, the apostle Peter explains that we are called to live unto righteousness because Christ bore our sins to bring us back to the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls. Living unto righteousness indicates a life that reflects the character and moral standards of Christ, who exemplified perfect obedience to the Father. It entails actively seeking to do what is right as defined by God’s Word rather than conforming to worldly standards or values. This life is empowered by the grace of God, who instills righteousness in the hearts of believers, enabling them to bear witness to His transformative power in a fallen world.
