We show that the effective Lagrangian including the gauge-fixing and ghost terms of the non-Abelian gauge theories can be derived in the functional Schroedinger picture by using the residual symmetry of the gauge-fixed Lagrangian. This residual gauge symmetry is shown to be equivalent to the well-known Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin symmetry.
