What does the Bible say about righteousness and the law?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that righteousness does not come from the law but through faith in Christ; otherwise, Christ died in vain.

The Scriptures declare that if righteousness could be attained through the law, then Christ's death would be meaningless. This truth is central in Galatians 2:21, where Paul emphatically states, 'I do not frustrate the grace of God; for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.' This asserts that all efforts at self-righteousness are futile because true righteousness is given freely through faith in Christ's completed work, fulfilling the law's demands.
