The word righteousness was translated from the Greek word “dikaiosune” and it implies that condition of being acceptable to God, to attain a state approved of God, integrity, virtue, purity of life, rightness.
It is in this state that all that man lost in the Garden of Eden is restored. It is what comes to us at salvation and what readily cripples the old sin consciousness that had robbed us of our place in God.
.
No man can be justified by his own works apart from God’s ordinance. Therefore, righteousness is a wonderful gift from God to humanity through His love: it is the God-given quality imputed to man upon believing in the Son of God.
.
Righteousness, in human standards is defined as “the quality of being morally true or justifiable.” The justification is made according to the conformity of behavior with the regulation (or constitution, in the context of a nation).
Spiritually and biblically, righteousness is the quality of being right in the eyes of God, including character (nature), conscience (attitude), conduct (action), and command (word). Righteousness is, therefore, based upon God’s standard because He is the ultimate Lawgiver.
