Righteousness means right living! In the context of the bible, God gifts us with the Holy Spirit. If we surrender, and invite the Holy Spirit to live within us, our character will be transformed to be loving like God. It's not something we do, but we make a choice. Do we choose to live selflessly or selfishly.
Once we choose to surrender to the Holy Spirit, we start living righteously. When we try to obey in our own power, we fail. However, when we surrender to the Holy Spirit, we are compelled through love.
