What other scriptures highlight God's justice and faithfulness like Luke 18:6? Centerpiece Verse “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He keep putting them off?” Justice Woven through the Old Testament • Deuteronomy 32:4 – “He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without injustice; righteous and upright is He.” • Psalm 9:7–8 – “The LORD reigns forever; He has established His throne for judgment. He judges the world with justice; He governs the peoples with equity.” • Psalm 89:14 – “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; loving devotion and faithfulness go before You.” • Isaiah 30:18 – “Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him.” • Zephaniah 3:5 – “The LORD within her is righteous; He does no injustice. Morning by morning He renders His judgment; each dawn He does not fail.” Faithfulness Threaded through the New Testament • 1 Corinthians 1:9 – “God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.” • 2 Thessalonians 3:3 – “But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.” • Hebrews 10:23 – “Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.” • 1 John 1:9 – “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” • Revelation 19:11 – “Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse, and its rider is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war.” Justice and Faithfulness Intertwined • Psalm 111:7–8 – “The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are trustworthy. They are upheld forever and ever, enacted in truth and uprightness.” • Lamentations 3:22–23 – “Because of the LORD’s loving devotion we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!” • 1 Peter 4:19 – “So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.” Takeaway God’s justice is never detached from His unwavering faithfulness.
