What does the Bible say about the righteousness of Zacharias and Elizabeth?

Answered in 2 sources

Zacharias and Elizabeth are described as righteous before God, exemplifying a life of blamelessness and adherence to God's commandments.

The Bible presents Zacharias and Elizabeth as a holy couple who were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blamelessly (Luke 1:6). Their lives illustrate the significance of personal righteousness and faithfulness in a time when such qualities were rare. The scriptural account emphasizes that there is no true sanctification without justification; thus, their righteousness stems both from imputed grace and from a genuine inner transformation by the Holy Spirit. They serve as an example for all Christians to strive for righteousness and piety in their own lives.
