Jehovah-Tsidkenu means "The Lord Our Righteousness," a name that fully reveals God as the source of our purity of heart and right standing with Him. This name appears in Jeremiah 23:6 (TLB), which says, “And this is his name: ‘The Lord Our Righteousness.’ In that day Judah will be saved, and Israel will live in safety.” This shows how God promised to provide a Saviour to bring righteousness to His people.
Jehovah-Tsidkenu helps us realise that our righteousness is not based on our deeds but God's grace through Jesus Christ. We can never earn our way to righteousness; it is given freely when we accept Christ. This truth brings comfort and assurance that His grace covers us.
By embracing Jehovah-Tsidkenu, we find freedom from striving and fear, knowing that God sees us as righteous through His Son. This encourages us to live boldly and faithfully, trusting in His promise.
