What does 'the righteousness of God revealed' mean in the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

'The righteousness of God revealed' means that the gospel discloses how God's holiness and justice are satisfied through Christ (Romans 1:17).

In Romans 1:17, the phrase 'the righteousness of God revealed' indicates how the gospel reveals God’s method of making sinners righteous through faith. This righteousness is not merely a human achievement but is provided by God and fully manifested in Christ’s atoning work on the cross. By Christ’s sacrifice, believers can be justified, meaning their sins are forgiven and they are accounted righteous in God’s sight. This important theme reassures believers of their standing before God, emphasizing that it is His righteousness that allows for a relationship with Him.
