What does the Bible teach about the righteousness of man?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the righteousness of man is inadequate and viewed as filthy rags before God.

Scripture clearly teaches that human righteousness is insufficient for salvation and acceptance before God. As stated in Isaiah 64:6, our righteousnesses are compared to filthy rags, indicating that even our best moral deeds are tainted by sin. This emphasizes the need for a righteousness that comes from Christ alone. The Apostle Paul elaborates on this in Philippians 3:9, where he expresses the desire to be found in Christ, not having a righteousness of his own, but that which comes through faith in Christ.
