Right And Just And Fair

Proverbs 1:1-6 – The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight; for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair; for giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young—let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance—for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.

Psalm 119:121 – I have done what is righteous and just; do not leave me to my oppressors.

Philippians 4:8 – Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Genesis 3:1 – Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?

Application:

  • ·         “What is righteous and just” was a phrase commonly used to sum up the whole will of God for moral action.
  • ·         Paul understood the influence of one’s thoughts on one’s life.
  • ·         Though naked, the man and his wife felt no shame. The craftiness of the serpent led them to sin, and they then became ashamed of their nakedness.
