In our human nature, there is a tendency to rely on our own understanding and efforts to achieve what we believe is right or just. This verse highlights the struggle of those who, unaware of God's true righteousness, attempt to create their own standards and measures of righteousness. Such efforts, however, fall short of the divine righteousness that God offers. God's righteousness is not something that can be earned or achieved through human effort; it is a gift given through faith in Jesus Christ. By trying to establish their own righteousness, people may inadvertently reject the grace and salvation that God provides. This passage serves as a reminder to submit to God's righteousness, acknowledging that it is through His grace and mercy that we are made righteous. It calls believers to trust in God's plan and provision, rather than relying solely on their own abilities or understanding. Embracing God's righteousness leads to a deeper relationship with Him and aligns us with His will, bringing peace and fulfillment that human efforts alone cannot achieve.
Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
