The Bible uses word “righteous” in two ways. It is used of the righteousness of faith, which is called imputed righteousness (Rom. 3:21-4:25). This kind of righteousness stands in contrast to our good works. Paul states, “By the works of the Law [‘good works’] no flesh will be justified [‘declared righteous’] in His sight” (Rom. 3:20). A few verses...
This is the second way the word righteousness is used in the Bible, to refer to right conduct which stems from being justified (“declared righteous”) by faith. It means “conformity to a standard” and points to the behavior of those who live by God’s revealed standards of right and wrong. When Genesis 6:9 says that “Noah was a righteous man, blamele...
It’s interesting that while the Bible often says that God spoke to Noah, there is no record of Noah praying to God. Yet we can be sure that he did! Job no doubt interceded for his children and he prayed for his three “friends” (Job 1:5; 42:8-10).

But being a righteous person does give you connections with God. If...
If God answers the prayers of the righteous, how can it be according to grace?Is God’s refusal to answer prayer on account of a person’s (or nation’s) sin a rare thing or is it common?Is asking God once enough, or must we keep praying until He grants the prayer?How can we know whether we should commit to pray for someone? Should we ever quit praying for a person’s salvation?14. Noah, Daniel … Job—specified in particular as having been saved from overwhelming calamities for their personal righteousness. Noah had the members of his family alone given to him, amidst the general wreck. Daniel saved from the fury of the king of Babylon the three youths (Da 2:17, 18, 48, 49).
