What role does faith play in receiving God's righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is the means through which we receive God's righteousness and become justified before Him.

In Romans 3:22, Paul clarifies that the righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. This illustrates that faith is not just intellectual assent but involves trust and reliance on Christ for salvation. In Reformed theology, justification is understood as an act of God's grace where He declares sinners righteous based solely on their faith in Christ's atoning work. This faith, a gift from God, bridges the gap between human sinfulness and divine holiness, enabling believers to stand justified before God, fully accepted in Christ's righteousness.
