"In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death."(Proverbs 12:28 NKJV)
He points the direction of our faith upon our Lord Jesus Christ. Through Him, God gives us victory over death. It is written: "When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."(1 Corinthians 15:54-57)
He gives us abounding life. He declared - "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. (John 10:10 ESV)
The Lord Jesus Christ, as we receive His Lordship, is the only way. He is our righteousness, by His grace. It's not about us. We can never be righteous by works of self-effort. Not even by 'our' so called “good works”. God's holy and written word says: "As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one;""

Hence, Apostle Paul reminds in his exhortations to the Roman believers: "Since we have been made right with God by our faith, we have peace with God. This happened through our Lord Jesus Christ, who through our faith has brought us into that blessing of God’s grace that we now enjoy. And we are happy because of the hope we have of sharing God’s glory." (Romans 5:1, 2 NCV)
