What does it mean to submit to the righteousness of God?

Answered in 3 sources

Submitting to the righteousness of God means recognizing our inability to achieve righteousness and relying completely on Christ.

Submitting to the righteousness of God involves understanding and accepting that human efforts to attain righteousness are inadequate. Romans 10:3 highlights this by stating that people, by their nature, are ignorant of God's righteousness and attempt to establish their own. The act of submission is essentially an acknowledgment of one's own shortcomings and a reliance on Christ as the only means of justification. It is a vital aspect of faith that requires humility and dependence on God's provision through Jesus. This submission allows believers to accept the righteousness that comes by faith alone, thus entering into a right relationship with God based on grace rather than personal achievement.
