Lord, we need You to deliver us from trusting in ourselves. We do not like to have any trust in ourselves. We are fearful of this. Lord, we tremble before You!
For the righteousness of God is revealed in it out of faith to faith, as it is written, "But the righteous shall have life and live by faith.''

In John 3:16 God's (love) is the source and motive of God's salvation. In Eph. 2:5, 8 God's (grace) is the means of God's salvation. In Rom. 1:17 God's righteousness is the (power) of God's salvation. God's righteousness, which is solid and steadfast, is the (foundation) of His throne (Psa. 89:14) and the base on which His kingdom is built (Rom. 14:17). Legally, both (love) and (grace) can fluctuate, but righteousness cannot. It is even more so with God's righteousness. It is (God's) righteousness, not ours, that is revealed in the gospel of God. Hence, the gospel is the (gospel) of God unto salvation to everyone who (believes).(See Rom 1:17 note 1)
