The Righteous God of Justice

Trust in God is directly related to knowing Him according to His revelation of Himself in His word. Incorrect understanding of God results in incorrect actions toward God. God's righteousness is related to His holiness and refers specifically to the standards of the law which come from God. Morality is conformity to God's standard of righteousness. Justice is the application of God's standards of righteousness. Man is unjust whenever he uses a standard different from the Lord's standard to determine and judge what is right or wrong.
