8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.
7 The works of His hands are verity and justice; All His precepts are sure.
3 But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
10 And: “You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
The Justice of God
The Justice of God
The moral righteousness of God is revealed in his laws and expressed in his judicial acts. God’s commands and judgments meet perfect standards of justice, and his apportioning of punishments and rewards is also perfectly just. God’s justice is impartial. Special praise is his for vindicating the penitent and the needy who have no human champions. Ultimately, all God’s ways will be seen as just and equitable.

5 He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
13 The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works.
