Righteousness means right standing with God i.e to be set right with God.

We are not set right with God by being good or keeping the rule. No! We are set right with God only through personal faith in Christ Jesus.

No human being can please God by self improvement. When a believer continually fall into addictions and sin, the person feels like God cannot behold sin, so God wouldn't want to be with him, so this believer tries to be better all by himself through self improvement. Now, the probability of him falling into that same sin again after a while, is high.

The way out of that addiction or sin is not by running away from God to be better first, but it's by running to him to make you better. You can't please God by self improvement, neither are you made righteous by that.

Faith in Christ Jesus is what makes you righteous. Loving and having a relationship with God is how you break free from sin.

Christ life shows how to live a God pleasing life i.e righteous and he also enables us to live it (Galatians 2)

Yeah.


This is so true.

Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the father except through him.

lastly, it's not by power nor is it by might, but by the spirit of God ..

Righteousness is being right in the sight of God and in the sight of men. One can be holy and yet being friendly with a sinner, love the sinner, yet do not love the sin, yet is still living a God fearing and holy life.

To attain the feat of being righteous, there are important things to look out for, and as some of us already know, it is as simple as ABC...they are as follows;
Accept. Firstly, for someone to be righteous, he/she must tirn away from sin, and accept the lord Jesus as his/her personal savior and redeemer. 
Believe. Secondly, he/she is expected to believe that the lord Jesus died on the cross to wash away their sins (remission of their sins and the atonement of his blood).
Confess. Sinners who want to be righteous must speak oyt and confess all evil doings to their savior, asking for divine outpouring and cleansing of heart, in faith and action (prayers).
Righteousness, is a day to day, minute by minute, and to some extent seconds by seconds living by Christians. To be Righteous, one must also do the following. 
He/she must study the word of God (Bible) to know the deep secrets of God.
He/she must pray and in some cases Fast and wait upon the lord inorder to fill the spirit man. 
Next, he/she should commune with God by personally singing songs of praise, as well as Worship to the most high. 
To be righteous, one must thirst after it, seek it. I pray we all attain the feet of righteousness.

One thing God like in this life is righteousness but the lord God himself is righteous and holy. We all in this world have sin and come short of the glory of God,God gave us righteousness by Christ, in case we sin he is there to have mercy on me and make us whole and make us presentable to God,looking at psalm 51-end this is a chapter telling us about mercy and to be righteous.in bible it stated that there is no man that do righteousness and sinnet not. But it just because of grace of God through christ jesus.and another thing God hate self righteousness because it is a sin, because you are not carrying anyone along your self,one a daily basis you are in the church but your relatives are in the world messing up instead of you preaching to them to be converted too accept God will, you left that it is called self righteousness.I just pray God help us to be righteous and live a holy life.

Righteousness is the state of being morally correct, justifiable and upright. It means doing what is right always.
There is a clear difference between righteousness and good will. You can be a philanthropist, but not righteous.
Being a cheerful giver may add to your blessings, not can never set a place for you in heaven. Righteousness comes from your personal relationship with God, not your religion. The more you move closer to God, the more you understand what it takes to be righteous. An unrighteous man cannot see the clear vision of who God is.
As a Christian, that is your yardstick where ever you found yourself.,self improvement may disappoint you at a certain time.
The following are the way to a righteous life;
 1. Ask for the spirit of God.
 2. Move closer to God.
 3. Meditate in his word, day and night.
 Righteousness outside God, is of the world.
