What is the meaning of righteousness in the Kingdom of God?

Answered in 1 source

Righteousness in the Kingdom of God refers to the righteousness of Christ imputed to believers, resulting in their justification before God (2 Corinthians 5:21).

In the context of the Kingdom of God, righteousness signifies the inherent righteousness of Christ, which is granted to believers through faith. This is articulated in 2 Corinthians 5:21, stating that 'He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.' Righteousness is not achieved by personal merit but is a gift received by faith, establishing the believer's standing before God and their inclusion in His Kingdom. This righteousness brings about peace with God and transforms the believer's life.
