Established by God's Righteousness
Commentators explain that the church's stability comes from God's own righteousness, not human effort. John Calvin argues it is God's character that builds and defends His people, while John Gill points specifically to the righteousness of Christ as the foundation for our justification. This means our security is based on a divine gift, not our own performance.
