The Dynamic Dual, Justice and Righteousness
But let justice run down like waters and righteousness as a mighty and ever-flowing steam. These two attributes of God’s makeup are of great importance. Without justice things would be even worse than they are now on planet earth. Justice should remind us we are accountable for our actions and behavioral problems. Justice helps keep us from totally yielding to our lower nature, which is more animal-like. Once you have succumbed to the leadings of your flesh and its inordinate desires, you leave your right standing with God. You basically lose the benefits of a righteous life, which is God blessed. As justice runs like waters in our circles of influence, we have the assurance of a safer, and less stressful life. Without justice we would self destruct. Without righteousness we’d be in just as bad a shape as living without justice. To not have right standing with God means you are hell bound, and on course with an eternal punishment with the devil who was working on you all the while to ignore God. Justice needs to roll on like a river and righteousness like a never failing stream. The Lord stands behind justice and righteousness because He is the epitome of both.
