God is Just

Psalm 89:13-14 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

Because God is love and love needs an object to pour itself out upon, then in order to come within His presence to receive that great love, sin has to be dealt with because of God’s holiness. Judgment and justice is required to deal with sin for the wages of sin is death.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

God’s sense of justice leads us to His solution, faith in Christ.

Romans 7:7c I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Because God is Holy, Loving, and Just, and all sin leads to death, in order for God not to violate His character of holiness and love, His justice has to be equal to all mankind regardless of the sin. If a lie leads to death and murder leads to death, then any sentence which provides an escape from that death penalty must be just and equal. Acquittal in the heavenly courts cannot therefor by judged by the offense but rather by the terms of the escape clause.

Hebrews 2:3,12:25 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

Psalm 8:3 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

Psalm 68:20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.

Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith.
