God is Righteous

Behold Your God Series | Isaiah 45:18-25 Jesus of Nazareth, the only perfectly righteous human being who ever walked the earth, bore “the iniquity of us all.” Through Jesus’ death on the cross, God both proved himself to be righteous—sin deserves death!—but also declared righteous those who find refuge in Jesus. The Apostle Paul describes this amazing act as follows: “It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus” (Romans 3:26).
