What does it mean to seek righteousness according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Seeking righteousness means pursuing God and trusting in Christ alone for salvation.

In Romans 9 and Isaiah 51, seeking righteousness entails pursuing God’s standard—not through our works but through faith in Christ. True seekers of righteousness recognize their inability to attain it on their own and rely solely on the finished work of Jesus for their justification. Righteousness is imputed to those who believe, as illustrated through Abraham's faith, which was counted to him as righteousness. It means acknowledging our spiritual bankruptcy and turning entirely to Christ, who is the embodiment of righteousness for all who believe.
