____________________________________________________________________

Lamentations 1:18-20. The LORD is righteous, yet I rebelled against His command. Listen, all you peoples; look upon my suffering. My young men and maidens have gone into exile. I called to my allies but they betrayed me. My priests and elders perished in the city while they searched for food to keep themselves alive. See, O LORD, how distressed I am! I am in torment within, and in my heart I am disturbed, for I have been most rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves; inside, there is only death.

Justice of God-Commentary

From the human standpoint it would seem far more ideal for the evil consequences of sin to be limited to the wrongdoer alone. But because of the interrelated involvement of family and society, no such limitation exists. In David's case there was no malicious or cruel intent behind his stubborn purpose to have a census taken of the citizens in his kingdom. His motive was more likely to have been a self-congratulatory pride in his achievements as a military genuis and in teh prosperity that the entire kingdom had attained under his leadership.

As God acts in righteousness (because He is righteous), so He called Israel to be righteous as His chosen people. They were placed in His covenent in right relationship with Him through faith.

God's righteousness involved treating the people according to the terms of the covenent He had graciously made with them. This involved acting both in judgement and deliverence. The latter activity is often therefore equated with salvation.
