The righteous recognize that God alone is our ____ for ____; and that our prayer must be to walk in the Spirit and in the glory of God.

• A. foundation; holiness
• B. rock; salvation
• C. anchor; righteousness
• D. cornerstone; purity

Answer: (A)

Our holiness rests on God as the foundation. When the righteous say that God alone is our foundation for holiness, they’re recognizing that a holy life isn’t generated by human effort alone but flows from a relationship with Him and His work in us. He is the unshakable base we stand on, the source and ground of being set apart for Him. Walking in the Spirit and in the glory of God means living under His guidance and allowing His Spirit to shape our desires, thoughts, and actions. Holiness grows as we yield to the Spirit, producing a life that reflects God’s character and brings Him glory. Because the Spirit is at work in us, our daily behavior—our pursuit of righteousness—follows from who God is and what He has begun in us. The other wordings would shift the emphasis. A “rock” for salvation centers on deliverance as the base of life, not the ongoing holy living emphasized here. “Anchor” for righteousness suggests stability, but is less about the foundational role God plays in sanctification. “Cornerstone” for purity is close in imagery, since a cornerstone anchors a building, but the phrase uses holiness as its target, and the wording here most naturally captures God as the base for living a life set apart to Him.
