What does the Bible say about righteousness looking down from heaven?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that righteousness comes from God and is fulfilled in Christ, who perfectly embodies and executes God's justice.

Psalm 85:11 proclaims that 'truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven.' This indicates that righteousness is not only a divine attribute but is manifested in the person of Jesus Christ, who came to fulfill God's law. The righteousness that looks down from heaven signifies God's approval of His Son's perfect life and sacrificial death on behalf of His people. It assures us that salvation is rooted in Christ's righteousness, which is credited to believers, ensuring their justification before God.
