How do we know God's righteousness is the foundation of our trust?

Answered in 1 source

God's righteousness is the foundation of our trust because it ensures that His justice and mercy work together in our salvation.

The foundation of our trust in God is rooted in His righteousness. As David prays in Psalm 71:2, he asks God to deliver him in His righteousness, revealing that God's salvation is inherently righteous and just. The righteousness of God guarantees that He will not overlook sin but will deal with it fully, ensuring that His mercy does not undermine His justice. This dynamic means that when we trust in God, we are relying on a salvation that is both gracious and founded in perfect justice, where Christ pays the penalty for sin and provides His righteousness to believers. This solid foundation allows us to be assured of our salvation and the completeness of our security in Him.
