What does the Bible teach about righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Righteousness in the Bible refers to being perfectly aligned with God's holy law, which is only attainable through faith in Christ (Romans 3:10).

In biblical terms, righteousness is defined as perfect conformity to God's holy law. According to Romans 3:10, there is none righteous, no, not one, which emphasizes that human beings, in their natural state, cannot achieve righteousness on their own. The concept of righteousness denotes a standard of absolute perfection that cannot be compromised. Instead, righteousness is something that is gifted to believers through Christ's redemptive work. When a person puts their faith in Jesus, they are seen as righteous because Christ's righteousness is credited to their account. This theological concept implies that when believers pursue righteousness, they are essentially seeking the righteousness that comes from God alone.
