Romans 3:21-22
But now the righteousness of God without 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 them that believe: for there is no difference:
When we speak of the "righteousness of God" we are referring to the redemptive work in regards to humanity's sin. It is God's justification which puts all believers in a right relationship with God. God's redemptive activity liberates all believers from the bondage of sin and Satan. This is because mankind lacked the ability to free him or herself from sin slave bondage. The righteousness of God comes to all who believe as a free gift through His Son Jesus Christ. It is noteworthy to say that God's righteousness is continuous and will last forever.

This free gift is salvation and the only requirement from God is to believe on His Son Jesus and accept Him as our personal Savior. Remember what is free to us was costly to God and His Son, but because of a broken fellowship and God's desire for a restored relationship His redemptive activity was executed--salvation.
How can we today witness to the righteousness of God? We do so by remembering the day we were saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ as we are no longer bound by sin and destined for eternal separation.
We are living testimonies to God's righteousness by our personal encounter with Jesus.
