Why is knowing God's righteousness essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Knowing God's righteousness is essential for salvation because it reveals our absolute need for Christ, who is our righteousness.

Understanding God's standard of righteousness is crucial because it highlights the inherent inability of human effort to meet divine expectations. We see in Romans 3:10 that 'there is none righteous, no, not one,' affirming that only Christ's righteousness can satisfy God's justice. To know God truthfully is to recognize Him as both just and the justifier of those who have faith in Jesus (Romans 3:26). Therefore, salvation is not about our works but about Christ's righteousness being credited to us through faith, granting us acceptance before God.
