Christ's Righteousness which is God Himself is in the heart of the converted causing them to do Righteousness. We are told in 1 John 3:7 "Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous." And in 1John 2:29 "...every one that doeth righteousness is born of him."
This is the same as the Love of God which is God Himself in the heart of the converted causing them to Love. We are told that "every one that loveth is born of God (1John 4:7)" but note you actually have the Love of God as your experience so that you can love others due to that love, In the same way when you are born of God and do righteousness it is because you actually have an experience within of Christ's Righteousness.
