What does the Bible say about righteousness from God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that righteousness comes from God alone, particularly through Jesus Christ, who perfectly fulfilled the law.

Isaiah 54:17 declares, 'Their righteousness is from me,' says Jehovah, indicating that true righteousness cannot be achieved through personal efforts but is a gift from God. Righteousness is defined as perfect conformity to God's law, a standard that was fulfilled completely by Christ during His life and through His sacrificial death. The righteousness that believers receive is, therefore, not their own but is imputed to them from Christ's perfect obedience and fulfillment of the law.
Scripture References: Isaiah 54:17, Romans 3:10-12, Romans 8:4
