What does it mean to seek God's righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

To seek God's righteousness means to abandon all self-reliance and place trust in Christ's perfect obedience and sacrifice (Philippians 3:9).

Seeking God's righteousness involves recognizing that our own efforts and moral achievements are insufficient for salvation. Philippians 3:9 states that true righteousness is not that which comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ. This pursuit requires a complete surrender of personal merit and an embracing of Christ's finished work on the cross as our sole basis for acceptance before God. It means looking to Him as our surety and finding peace in the reality that His righteousness has been credited to us, allowing believers to approach the throne of grace with confidence rather than fear. Seeking righteousness in this way aligns our hearts with God's will and reflects an understanding of the Gospel's transformative power.
