Rom.10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Don't say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'{Deuteronomy 30:12} (that is, to bring Christ down)

Is there a difference in righteousness? Well, there is, a righteousness by law, and the righteousness of Christ, many Christian's do not understand this thinking both are the same righteousness.

1Cor.1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

Christ Jesus becomes our righteousness, why? Because according to the laws righteousness we are unrighteous by our inherited sin from Adam. Christ than completed the righteousness of the law for us being he was not a sinner according too the judgment of the laws righteousness, with his own righteousness, which is superior to the laws righteousness that perfected nothing in us as sinner.

Romans 9:31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn't arrive at the law of righteousness.

This is Paul's point here, nothing more. The law was physical for a fleshly nation of physical people a shadow of the superior righteousness of Christ Jesus precious blood given for our complete redemption and perfecting our faith in God, love.

Romans 8:10 If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

Yes, now we know, the superior righteousness of Christ that it was because he loved God, with his whole heart, soul and mind that Adam failed in doing for us as our father. Christ Jesus, thus, becomes our Father of eternal life, the tree of life, for the human race based upon love, which take trust in YHWH and/or faith in his love.

The law could not legislate love for God, so it perfect nothing for us, but instead convicted us as unrighteous needing redemption through innocent blood. But Christ righteousness is based upon his love for his Father, so he perfect us in love for God. We now have a view of God as a Father and not a judge condemning us into death because we cannot meet his own righteousness seen through the law.

Yes, we are adopted through Christ Jesus righteousness as son loved by our faith removing our deserved judgment through the law, were we can trust even in our disobedience that our Father will not cast us away like trash, but discipline us with life in view, praise God for He is might in wonderful works grace!

Romans 5:18 So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.

Romans 5:21 that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
