What does the Bible say about the righteousness of the saints?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that the righteousness of the saints comes solely from Jesus Christ, not from their own works.

According to Revelation 19:8, the fine linen worn by the bride signifies the righteousness of the saints. This righteousness is entirely attributed to Christ's perfect obedience and not to the believers' actions. Isaiah 64:6 affirms that our own righteousness is like filthy rags, highlighting the necessity of being clothed in Christ's righteousness to stand justly before God. Therefore, the righteousness of believers is not derived from their efforts, but through their union with Christ, who embodies holiness and perfection.
