What does the Bible say about doing righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Doing righteousness involves abiding in Christ and relying on His imputed righteousness, not on our own works.

The Bible, particularly in 1 John 2:29, teaches that doing righteousness is tied to being born of God. It is not merely about legalistic adherence to the law, as no one is righteous by their own efforts. Rather, it involves a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ, where believers rest in His righteousness, acknowledging that they are justified solely through faith in Him. This understanding shifts the focus from self-effort to reliance on God's grace.
