Why should Christians rest in the hope of righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Christians should rest in the hope of righteousness because it assures them of their unconditional acceptance in Christ.

The hope of righteousness provided through faith in Christ offers a profound peace and security for believers. As Paul highlights in Galatians 5:5, we are reminded that our righteousness is not self-derived but is a gift from God. This assurance allows Christians to rest from their striving, recognizing that their standing before God is secure because of Jesus' work on their behalf. The sermon emphasizes that this hope is not just a future expectation; it spans our entire Christian experience, granting us confidence in our identity as God’s cherished children. It diminishes the burden of law-keeping and liberates us to live in the fullness of grace, trusting in God’s promises as we await the ultimate revelation of our righteousness in Christ.
