A Gift, Not an Achievement
Commentators stress that the "righteousness of God" is not a human achievement but God's plan for making people right with Him. This righteousness is received through faith in Jesus Christ. Scholars clarify that faith is the instrument or channel for receiving this gift, not a meritorious work that earns it. It's about believing and receiving, not doing and deserving.
