The Bible reveals God is righteous. He is righteous in essence and action. He loves righteousness and approves of those who walk in conformity to His character and commands. Scripture declares, “For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; the upright will behold His face” (Ps. 11:7), and “Righteous are You, O LORD, and upright are Your judgments” (Ps. 119:137).

Three Phases of Salvation
Once a person is born again, he is saved from the penalty of sin, the power of sin, and will ultimately be saved from the presence of sin when God takes him to heaven. This is related to the three phases of salvation: justification (instantaneous forgiveness and declaration of righteousness), sanctification (process of spiritual growth), and glorification (final phase in heaven).
