What does the Bible say about doing righteousness?

Answered in 9 sources

The Bible teaches that doing righteousness involves recognizing Christ's righteousness imputed to believers, which enables them to live according to God's standards.

The Bible speaks extensively about righteousness, particularly in 1 John 2:29, which states that those who practice righteousness are born of God. This righteousness is not derived from human effort or moral standards, but rather through faith in Christ. In God's eyes, righteousness is perfection, which is only satisfied in the person of Jesus Christ. Believers are seen as righteous because they are covered by His righteousness, and they are enabled to do righteousness as a result of their new birth and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
