What does the Bible say about the need for perfect righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that God requires perfect righteousness to enter His presence due to His absolute holiness.

In Scripture, God's absolute holiness necessitates that only those with perfect righteousness can stand in His presence, as seen in Psalm 24:3-4, which asks who can ascend the hill of the Lord. This sets a standard that no human can meet due to inherent sinfulness (Romans 3:23). Hence, the law serves as a tutor to drive us to Christ, who alone provides the necessary righteousness. It reveals our need for a Savior because we cannot produce the perfect holiness that God demands, emphasizing our reliance on Christ’s redemptive work.
