Deuteronomy 6:25
And it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to do all this commandment before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.
For those who follow God there can be no other righteousness than that which comes from doing what He says and getting it from where He declares it is present. For us, no other righteousness can be counted, pursued, acknowledged or tolerated. This will require careful thought and practice since our default is to desire alternate sources of righteousness or justification. We are vulnerable to justifying ourselves or desiring righteousness that comes from buying the right kind of coffee, clothes or car, etc... We look to virtue signal and hope that those around us can read the signs. But for us, there can be no other righteousness than that which comes from God, has its source in Him and is provided to us by Him.
