"Righteousness"
Holiness; sinlessness; perfection; the state necessary for one's entrance into heaven; the condition of those who have trusted in the Jesus of the Scriptures.
Matthew 5:6; 6:33 - Blessed are those who do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. - - - Seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness. . . .
Romans 1:16-17 - For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one who believes it; to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Romans 3:20-26 - Therefore by the deeds of the Law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight: for by the Law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without (apart from) the Law is manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets; even the righteousness of God which is by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference: for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by His grace (God's gift to the undeserving ones who believe) through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation (the full payment of our sin debt) through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time His righteousness: that He might be just, and the Justifier of those who believe in Jesus.
Romans 10:1-4, 9-13 - Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to every one who believes. - - - That if you shall confess with your mouth (your faith in) the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, Whosoever believes in Him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Gentile: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all who call upon Him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
1 Corinthians 1:23-31 - But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Gentiles foolishness; but unto those who are called, both Jews and Gentiles, Christ is the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him are you in Christ Jesus, Who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:1-6 - Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand; by which also you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures: and that He was seen of Cephas (Peter), then of the twelve: after that, He was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain (alive) unto this present, but some are fallen asleep (have died).
2 Corinthians 5:20-21 - Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be reconciled to God. For He has made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.
RIGHTEOUSNESS: BELIEVE AND RECEIVE IT!
