What does the Bible say about righteousness of faith?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the righteousness of faith is obtained through belief in Jesus Christ, as exemplified by Abraham's faith.

In Romans 4, Paul illustrates the concept of the righteousness of faith through the example of Abraham. Abraham believed God, and his faith was counted as righteousness (Romans 4:3). This righteousness is not achieved through works but is a gift of God’s grace, emphasizing that perfect righteousness is required for acceptance before God. For us, this righteousness is obtained by faith in Jesus Christ, allowing believers to be justified and declared righteous in the sight of God, as outlined in Romans 3:21-22.
