What is the difference between righteousness of the law and righteousness of faith?

Answered in 1 source

The righteousness of the law is based on human works, while the righteousness of faith is based on Christ's completed work.

The righteousness of the law, as described in Scripture, requires perfect adherence to God's commands and results in condemnation for those who cannot fulfill them. As Paul notes, 'the man which doeth those things shall live by them' (Romans 10:5), emphasizing that failure leads to death. In contrast, the righteousness of faith, revealed in the gospel, is grounded in the completed work of Christ. Romans 10:6-9 states that the word of faith is what we preach, urging believers to confess Christ and trust in His resurrection. This righteousness is not earned but freely given through faith, making it accessible to all who believe.
