Salvation's Two Pillars

Commentators explain that salvation, found only in the Lord, consists of two essential parts. "Righteousness" refers to being made right with God (justification and pardon), which we lack on our own. "Strength" is the divine power needed to live faithfully, overcome sin, and endure trials. True faith acknowledges that both come exclusively from God.
