Isaiah 30:18 (NKJV)
For the Lord is a God of justice.
Among all the attributes of God, such as His holiness, omnipotence, love, and sovereignty, His justice stands out as unique. In today's world, we often encounter biased, flawed, haphazard, or irregular justice systems. Law enforcement officials can be delinquent and biased in enforcing the laws, acting selectively rather than uniformly. They may also be negligent instead of diligent in their duties. For example, there is a tendency for people of color to be selectively prosecuted in the United States while other ethnicities are given a pass. Similarly, law enforcement can be particularly stringent on the rich and powerful while being lenient with the suburban class.
In contrast to these shortcomings, God's justice is absolute, impartial, unbiased, and uniform. It applies equally to all individuals, irrespective of their social status, wealth, or background. God's justice extends to every human being without discrimination. It is not limited to judging His enemies, such as Satan, but also extends to His chosen ones, such as King David. God's justice is the same for every person and even extends to His creation, including animals.
