How do we know God's moral government is real?

Answered in 1 source

God's moral government is evidenced by the consequences of our actions and the biblical principle that obedience leads to blessings while disobedience results in chastening (Proverbs 13:15).

The principle of God's moral government is articulated through various scriptural texts, such as Proverbs 13:15, which states that 'the way of transgressors is hard.' This emphasizes that both the faithful and the unfaithful will experience consequences based on their actions. For believers, the consequences are disciplinary rather than punitive, indicating God's love and commitment to shepherding His people toward righteousness. Furthermore, God's providential guidance confirms the reality of His moral order, as seen when He permits trials and tribulations in our lives to correct our paths and mold our characters. Believers can live with assurance that God actively governs our circumstances according to His righteous principles.
