Righteousness and faith in Jesus Christ

It is God-given and not the result of human effort

Saving faith is not mere belief, but acting on the basis of that belief

James 2:21–24 NASB95
Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected; and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God. You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
