What is the nature of the righteousness we are to seek?

Answered in 1 source

The righteousness we seek is God's righteousness, which is perfect and revealed through Christ.

The righteousness that believers are called to hunger and thirst for is not a human-standard righteousness but God's own righteousness, as revealed in Jesus Christ. This righteousness is essential for salvation and right standing before God; it is through faith in Christ that believers receive it. The Apostle Paul emphasizes this in Philippians, stating that he desires to be found in Christ, not having his own righteousness, but that which comes through faith in Christ. This righteousness meets God's holy standards and is the only means by which we can be justified and reconciled to God.
