Our Lord Jesus Christ is righteous.

Hebrews  1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.  1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

1 John  2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

Promotion and exaltation are from God.

Psalms  75:6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.  75:7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
