Various Texts<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Psalm 11:7 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>7 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds;<\/span> the upright shall behold his face.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Psalm 19:7-11 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>7 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul;<\/span> the testimony of the LORD is sure,<\/span> making wise the simple;<\/span>
\n8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;<\/span> the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;<\/span>
\n9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;<\/span> the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.<\/span>
\n10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;<\/span> sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.<\/span>
\n11 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE JUSTICE OF GOD<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Psalm 58:11 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>11 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Mankind will say, \u201cSurely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 7:9-10 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,
\n10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0and repays to their face those who hate him, by destroying them. He will not be slack with one who hates him. He will repay him to his face.<\/p>\n

Romans 3:21-26 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>21 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it\u201d\u201d
\n22 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:
\n23 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
\n24 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
\n25 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God\u201d\u2122s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.
\n26 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE INTEGRITY OF GOD<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jeremiah 10:5-7 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, and they cannot speak;<\/span> they have to be carried,<\/span> for they cannot walk.<\/span> Do not be afraid of them,<\/span> for they cannot do evil,<\/span> neither is it in them to do good.\u201d<\/span>
\n6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0There is none like you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might.<\/span>
\n7 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Who would not fear you, O King of the nations? For this is your due;<\/span> for among all the wise ones of the nations and in all their kingdoms<\/span> there is none like you.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

1 Samuel 15:29 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>29 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And also the Glory of Israel will not lie or have regret, for he is not a man, that he should have regret.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hebrews 6:18 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>18 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.<\/p>\n

Psalm 100:5 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever,<\/span> and his faithfulness to all generations.<\/span><\/p>\n
