Why is the righteousness of God described as a revelation?

Answered in 1 source

The righteousness of God is described as a revelation because it unveils how God serves His own justice while providing a way for sinners to be justified through faith in Christ.

In Romans 1, Paul speaks of the righteousness of God being revealed in the gospel, which signifies that God has made known how He can remain just while justifying the ungodly. This revelation is crucial because it provides insight into God's character and His plan for salvation. Unlike human attempts to attain righteousness through personal effort or moral standing, the righteousness revealed is based on faith in Christ. This understanding transforms our perception of God’s justice from being punitive to being gracious, as it illustrates how God's holiness and mercy coexist harmoniously through Christ's redemptive work.
