Why is quickening in God's righteousness essential for believers?

Answered in 1 source

Quickening in God's righteousness is essential as it represents being made alive in the life of Christ.

The psalmist's final plea in Psalm 119:40, 'Quicken me in thy righteousness,' is crucial as it expresses the believer's need for spiritual life that comes exclusively from God's righteousness. This 'quickening' is about being made alive in Christ and recognizing that true life comes from His completed work. It underscores the idea that the believer's righteousness is not their own but found in Christ alone. When quickened to live according to God's righteousness, believers reflect His glory and are empowered to walk in holiness. It's a request for the constant application of divine grace to energize and sustain their spiritual lives.
