God Is Righteous
Lesson for July 5, 1953
AYBE it is because righteous
is not a singable word. (Is
there any rhyme for it?) Maybe it
is because the word has a hard-
ring to it in some ears. It seems
to suggest something rigid and un
beautiful, like a poker or a fence-
post. Anyway, for some reason or
other, we do not hear much about
God’s being right
eous. Words like
“love” or “mercy”
are used more
often. We hear of
the high and holy
God, the almighty,
or we hear of the
living Father of
all. But we do not
hear often enough
of the God who
first and last and Foreman
always is the righteous God.
* • *
A Righteous God Or None
The Bible’s God is a righteous
God. But the writers of the Bible
did not shiver when they wrote
that word. They did not believe
and tremble,' they believed and
were glad. In fact, nobody who
gives the question the serious
thought it deserves would be in
terested in God if he were not
righteous. An un-righteous G6d
would be no God at all but a
kind of devil. Righteousness means
being right, first of aU. It means
seeing things as they are, seeing
past the surface to the heart of
things. No one who sees men and
character dimly or crookedly can
be righteous.
But righteousness is more than
being right. It means being right-
in-action. It includes being just and
fair, though it is more than that,
too. Some one might be fair be
cause the rules compelled him to
be. He might be fair to others so
that they in turn would be fair to
him. Righteousness means not only
justice in act, but justice in desire.
It means the love of justice and
not only the practice of it. Right
eousness—the Bible word—in ad
dition means dependability. The
original meaning of the word was
simply “straight.”
* «• «
Justice For All
God is like man in one respect.
His actions speak louder than his
word*. The writers of the Bible,
Old Testament and New, more of
ten speak of God's righteous acts
than of his righteous words. It re
mained for the Apostle Paul to
sum up the case for God’s right
eousness. It is shown, he says—
demonstrated, that is to say—in
two ways. These two ways are en
larged on in the early chapters of
Romans as well as elsewhere in
Paul’s writings.
First Of all, the justice of'God
expresses His righteousness, God
is no “respecter of persons;” in
other words. He plays no favor
ites. Paul’s own people, the Jews,
had misunderstood what it meant
to be the “chosen” people. ’They
had supposed it meant they were
God’s favorites, though the proph
ets had long tried to explain that
“chosen” meant chosen for serv
ice, appointed. Some people to
day think that “Nordics” or
Americans or some other group
is God’s chosen people. His favor
ites, His pets so to speak. No,
the Bible teaching is that in God’s
sight all men stand on an equal
footing.

Redemption For All
If this were aU that could be
said, we of the human race would
be in a hopeless hole. As Paul
shows, the fact that God treats all
men alike in the long run, is no
comfort at all; it only means that
the verdict “Guilty” must be pro
nounced on us all. Comparing what
we are with what we ought to be,
not even we ourselves can hon
estly say much for, ourselves. If
God’s righteousness were noth
ing but an even-handed justice, it
would be a .searing flame. But
it is more. The other way God
shows His righteousness is in His
mercy, in His coming to us in
Christ. He has made salvation
—that is, the setting-free from the
deadly whirling wheeling of sin and
destruction—He made this free to
all. He forces mercy on no one. But
if He offered mercy and forgive
ness only to a selected few—or for
that matter, only to a selected
many—then while He might be
called merciful He could hardly
be called righteous. If God saved
everyone, regardless He would
still not be righteous. He saves
those who have faith, that is, those
who htimbly accept what they real
ize they can never earn—^the trans
forming love of God. For one of the
glorious ' things about God is
that He is not only righteous—He
shares His righteousness.

OLD IRONSIDES )
Thanks to a succession of victorious engage
ments with British men-of-war, and a stirring
poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes, the U. S. Frig
ate Coastitution found an honored harbor in the
hearts of Americans.
Launched in 1797, this gallant battle-wagon
of the early American Navy well deserved her
nick-name. Again and again she sailed in defense
of Freedom; and Time alone, of all her foes,
put her out of action.
We cherish Old Ironsides as a symbol of the
courage that has so often preserved the liberties
our forefathers purchased so dearly. And, more
than ever before, we are coming to appreciate
the_ part the Church plays in strengthening our
nation—the Church which those first Americans
brought to these shores that they might worship
God unhindered in a free new world.
For, transcending even Time, the Church forti
fies our Freedom with the Faith in which always
It has flourished!
