What is the significance of seeking God's righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Seeking God's righteousness is essential because it is through Christ's righteousness that we are justified and made acceptable to God.

The call to seek God’s righteousness is deeply rooted in the understanding that our own merit is insufficient for salvation. In Matthew 6:33, Jesus emphasizes that we must seek His righteousness, which is available only through faith in Him. This righteousness is not something we can achieve on our own; it is a gift from God achieved through Christ's perfect obedience and sacrificial atonement. As expressed in Romans 1:16-17, the righteousness of God revealed in the gospel is what brings salvation. Therefore, seeking God's righteousness is paramount as it aligns us with His purposes and grants us the assurance of eternal life.
