What does it mean to seek righteousness by faith?

Answered in 1 source

Seeking righteousness by faith means trusting in Christ's righteousness rather than one’s own works (Romans 10:6-7).

To seek righteousness by faith involves acknowledging one's inability to meet God's standards through personal effort and instead relying fully on Christ's finished work. Romans 10:6-7 illustrates this by contrasting the righteousness that is based on the law with the righteousness that comes through faith in Christ. Rather than attempting to achieve righteousness by the works of the law, believers rest in the belief that Christ has accomplished what they cannot. This not only frees them from the burden of striving but also affirms that true righteousness is received through faith and is a gift of grace.
