Topical Encyclopedia
The justice of God is a fundamental attribute of His divine nature, reflecting His perfect righteousness and moral integrity. It is declared to be incorruptible, meaning it is untainted by any form of injustice or partiality. This aspect of God's character is consistently affirmed throughout Scripture, underscoring His unwavering commitment to truth and fairness.

Scriptural Affirmations of God's Incorruptible Justice

1. Deuteronomy 32:4 · "He is the Rock, His work is perfect; all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He." This verse highlights the perfection and justice inherent in God's nature, emphasizing that His actions are always aligned with His righteous character.

2. Psalm 89:14 · "Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; loving devotion and truth go before You." Here, the psalmist declares that God's rule is established on the principles of righteousness and justice, indicating that His governance is incorruptible and steadfast.

3. Romans 2:11 · "For God does not show favoritism." This New Testament affirmation underscores the impartiality of God's justice, asserting that He judges all people equitably, without bias or preference.

4. James 1:17 · "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow." This passage speaks to the unchanging nature of God, including His justice, which remains constant and unaltered by external influences.

The Incorruptibility of God's Justice in His Dealings with Humanity

God's justice is evident in His dealings with humanity, both in His judgments and His provision of salvation. His justice demands that sin be addressed, yet His mercy provides a means of redemption through Jesus Christ. This balance of justice and mercy is a testament to His incorruptible nature.

1. Romans 3:25-26 · "God presented Him as the atoning sacrifice through faith in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand. He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus." This passage illustrates how God's justice is maintained even as He offers grace, ensuring that His righteousness is upheld.

2. Isaiah 61:8 · "For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and wrongdoing; in My faithfulness I will give them their recompense and make an everlasting covenant with them." God's love for justice is coupled with His commitment to reward righteousness and punish iniquity, reflecting His incorruptible nature.

Theological Implications of God's Incorruptible Justice

The incorruptibility of God's justice assures believers of His reliability and fairness. It provides a foundation for trust in His promises and judgments, knowing that He will always act in accordance with His righteous character. This assurance is a source of comfort and hope, as it guarantees that God's dealings with humanity are always just and true.

1. Hebrews 6:18 · "Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged." The unchangeable nature of God, including His justice, offers believers a steadfast hope and encouragement.

2. Revelation 15:3 · "And they sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb: 'Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations!'" This eschatological vision affirms the ultimate recognition of God's just and true ways, celebrated by all creation.

In summary, the justice of God is declared to be incorruptible, a reflection of His perfect and unchanging nature. This attribute assures believers of His fairness and integrity, providing a foundation for faith and trust in His divine governance.
