What does the Bible say about righteousness before God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible states that righteousness before God comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, who is the end of the law for righteousness for all who believe.

According to Romans 10:3-4, individuals cannot establish their own righteousness through works. The scripture makes it clear that Christ alone embodies God's righteousness. Those who think they can achieve righteousness through the law frustrate God's grace, as found in Galatians 2:21, which declares that if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died in vain. This emphasizes the essential belief that true righteousness comes via submission to Christ, who fulfills the law on behalf of sinners. Therefore, the doctrine teaches that all believers find their perfect righteousness solely through faith in Christ’s atoning sacrifice.
