“A Just God”
God possesses the attribute of justice in its perfection. “Without the idea of the existence of the attribute justice in the Deity,” Joseph Smith declared, “men could not have confidence sufficient to place themselves under his guidance and direction; for they would be filled with fear and doubt lest the judge of all the earth would not do right, and thus fear or doubt, existing in the mind, would preclude the possibility of the exercise of faith in him for life and salvation” (Lectures on Faith 4:13).
