What does the Bible say about the righteousness of faith?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that the righteousness of faith is based on Christ's obedience, not our own work.
Romans 10 outlines a critical distinction between the righteousness that comes from the law and the righteousness that comes from faith in Christ. Paul emphasizes that true righteousness cannot be achieved through our own efforts or adherence to the law. Instead, it is found in Christ's obedience, which fulfills the requirements of the law on our behalf. In verse 4, Paul states, 'For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes,' signifying that faith in Christ fulfills the demands of the law. Therefore, true believers must abandon reliance on their own righteousness and look to Jesus Christ as their source of justification before God.
