What does the Bible say about our righteousness?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible states that there is none righteous, and our righteousness comes solely from Christ.

The Scriptures affirm that mankind is inherently unrighteous, as seen in Romans 3:10 where it states that 'there is none righteous, no, not one.' Our attempts at righteousness are inadequate, as expressed in Isaiah 64:6: 'All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.' Thus, true righteousness can only be found in Jesus Christ, who, according to 1 Corinthians 1:30, has been made unto us righteousness by God. This highlights the importance of Christ's righteousness over any self-generated merit.
