And yet again there is only One who can declare them righteous, and it's not based on anything but the transformation process, right?Jesus said that faith is one of the weightier matters of the Law (Matthew 23:23) and obedience to God is straightforwardly about having faith in Him to teach us how to walk in His ways, so whenever the Bible speaks about someone obeying God's commands or someone who is righteous, we should take it to be talking about someone who is acting in faith and has the righteousness of God unless it is otherwise noted. For example, Noah found grace in the eyes of God (Genesis 6:8), so it was no accident that he was righteous, but rather he was righteous because he had been trained by grace and obeyed through faith.
