What does it mean that God does not trust in man?

Answered in 1 source

God does not trust in man because of our inherent sinfulness, instead trusting in Christ alone for redemption.

The statement that God does not trust in man points to the biblical truth of human depravity as seen in Job 15:14-16, where it is articulated that 'God putteth no trust in his saints.' This highlights the belief that human beings, by nature, are sinful and unable to achieve righteousness through their deeds. Instead, God has entrusted salvation to His Son, Jesus Christ, who alone is faithful and true. The focus is not on human capability but on Christ's sufficiency to save. In His perfect faithfulness, God knows that only Christ's righteousness can stand in the sight of a holy God. Thus, believers can find assurance and security in the righteousness of Christ rather than in their own imperfect attempts to measure up.
