How do we know God will sustain the righteous?

Answered in 1 source

God's promise in Psalm 55:22 confirms that He will sustain the righteous, who have faith in Christ as their righteousness.

The assurance that God will sustain the righteous is firmly rooted in Scripture, particularly in the promise of Psalm 55:22. Here, the term 'the righteous' refers not to those who have achieved any inherent goodness, but to those who are in Christ. As articulated in Romans 10:4, Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Thus, believers are made righteous in Him and can trust that God will uphold them. This makes the righteous uniquely positioned to rely on God's sustaining power during life's burdens, which is not based on their merit but on Christ's sufficiency and grace.
