Why is understanding the righteousness of God important?

Answered in 1 source

Understanding God's righteousness is crucial because the gospel reveals it as the foundation for salvation.

In Romans 1:17, Paul states that 'in the gospel, the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith.' This highlights that salvation is not based on human merit but on the righteousness of God that is manifested in Christ. Ignorance of God's righteousness leads to false beliefs, such as the notion that salvation can be earned through works. By understanding that Christ fulfills the law's demands on our behalf, believers can rest in faith, assured of their standing before God.
