“””””Hebrews 2:2 also puts to rest the notion that God is not fair. The writer says every sin received a “just recompense.” God, by His very nature, is just. Every punishment He meted out to those who defied Him was a deterrent to the sin He wanted to stop. ”””””  

I believe God is fair and just and am willing to receive all I deserve. 

In the past I asked this question that no one would give me a yes or no answer to. 

Do you believe a righteous/just God can punish you or I for something He cannot prove a man can do? IE, live a sinless life. 

Is that something you will answer? I believe it pertains to the subject of this post. God’s righteousness.

May God our Father lead us to His truth, BVB

God has told us that sin must be punished. The soul that sins must die.

We not punished because we can’t live perfect life. We are punished for our sin.

However, God knows we canmot live a perfect life and has made provision for us to be judicially declared righteous.

When we accept God’s provision in Jesus Christ, we are declared righteous because Christ took our place and took God’s judgment for us.
