What does the Bible say about God loving the righteous?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible states that the Lord loves the righteous, which ultimately refers to those who are in Christ, as He is our righteousness.
Scripture explicitly affirms that the Lord loves the righteous, as seen in Psalm 146. This love is not directed to humanity in general, but specifically to 'the righteous,' as indicated by the psalmist. The righteous are those who have been given the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ, the only truly righteous one. As followers of Christ, believers partake in His righteousness and thus are the recipients of God's love. It is crucial to understand that our righteousness comes not from our own works but is attributed to us through faith in Christ, who fulfilled all righteousness on our behalf.
