① Called by righteousness: Righteousness is God's righteousness, which destroys enemies and saves his people.
② He took your hand: It means that you will hold on to it and make it stronger.
③ Protected: It will keep you safe from all evil forces that challenge you.
④ Established: It is to guide you so that you do not deviate from the path of your mission or stumble.

5). The nature of the mission - something new (9)
※ The “new work” is based on the “new covenant” and refers to the redemptive work of mankind through Jesus, the Messiah, the servant of Jehovah who will come in the future.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
※ “Now I declare a new thing, even before it begins, I tell you.”
: It was before God began to work through His servant Messiah, but it was declared in advance to give the hope of great salvation to his people in despair.
※ Therefore, believers must put off the old and live anew as new creatures.
