Justice is based in the character of God

The enormous concern for justice in the Bible derives from the fact that justice is considered to be an attribute of God. Justice belongs to the very character of God.

Deuteronomy 32:2-3 says, "For all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he".

Psalm 89:14-15 says, "Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you."
