Why is righteousness essential for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Righteousness is essential as it reflects God's character and ensures our right standing with Him.

Righteousness is foundational for Christians because it reflects the holy character of God and defines our relationship with Him. As believers, we are called to pursue righteousness, knowing that it is through Christ that we are deemed righteous. In Matthew 5:20, Jesus states, 'For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.' This indicates a righteousness that transcends mere external morality, rooted deeply in a heart transformed by grace. Therefore, righteousness is not just an obligation; it is the essence of our faith and relationship with God.
