Scripture asserts that God is upright and without unrighteousness, as seen in His actions and divine nature.
The attribute of God's uprightness is foundational in Reformed theology. Psalm 92 concludes by declaring, 'the Lord is upright, and there is no unrighteousness in him.' This means that God is wholly moral and just, embodying purity and goodwill without any inclination towards sin or unrighteousness. Our understanding of God’s character comes from His self-revelation in Scripture, where He consistently acts according to His holy nature. The fact that He is unchanging and perfect allows believers to trust in His promises and the absolute nature of His righteousness. In Him, there's no darkness at all; He is the standard of goodness and uprightness.
