Names of God: Jehovah-Tsidkenu

Jehovah-Tsidkenu

Jeremiah 23:5-6

I. THE PERFECTION OF GOD.

 For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.  Psalm 5:4

 He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he. Deuteronomy 32:4

 II. THE PROBLEM OF MAN.

 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;” Romans 3:10

 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

 III. THE PROVISION OF THE SAVIOR.

 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! Romans 5:8-9

 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! Romans 5:15-17

 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. Romans 5:18

 Romans 6:12-18

 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33

 He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.

Psalm 23:3
