Romans 10:6-9 (KJV)
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

The righteousness, which is of faith, is a righteousness of the Word
It is a righteousness by faith in Christ,His death, burial and resurrection. Christ is the living Word of God.
It is a righteousness presented through preaching the Word of God.It’s not based on opinion, philosophy or theory. It is grounded in the Word of God, the Bible.
It results in a particular form of words from the receiver.The unbeliever will question the Gospel. How can it be that one descended from heaven, died, rose again and ascended back to heaven? These words spring from unbelief. The believer on the other hand, will respond in faith and call upon the name of the Lord.
Salvation is not by works, but by faith and the spoken word.
