No, God is not fair. He shows us more love and grace than we deserve.

I don't know which version of the bible you're using but in NIV and other versions says, "accurate and honest" or "perfect and just" for "full and fair."

I believe in 100% in God being just since there are scriptural evidences of that but are there instances where the scripture says that God is fair?

I don't think God is fair to be honest. I think Jesus is the prime example of that. Humanity should go to hell for their defiance to God (through sin) yet God gracious offers the gift of salvation which I think is a game changer. Viewing this, it isn't a act of "fairness" which got me thinking about the whole question.

I know that as a Christian, we try to put God into all things that is good and we value the idea of fairness highly in our society so we try to put God in the box of being fair. Someone have mentioned that "fairness have ended at the garden of Eden" and I think there is truth in that.

A big part could be that we try to put God into our mold of what we think is "fair" and try to fit Him in a box. Maybe that's the bigger issue.

Now that I think about it for a while, the word fair doesn't exist. It was made up recently, but it really holds no weight.

He is just, but loving.

His justice exacts what is deserved, his love caused him to come down and die for us.

Since he died for us, that justice is fulfilled, for the precious divine blood of God was spilled here.

The first Adam gave into sin & temptation from the devil, ever since, all of adam's seed has sinned and falls short of God's glory.

But the last Adam (Jesus Christ) went his whole life without giving in to sin, and he was tempted and killed by the devil, but he never gave in. And he was from God's blood line, not the Adamic one.

Very cool.

Define "fair"?

To imply fair means that there is a definition of things that are FAIR and things that are NOT FAIR.

Please give me this list. Also who created this list? Did you create this list? Did another worldly person create this list? If a human person created this, what gives them the right to say what is Fair or Unjust?

God is the only one capable of being Fair because He is perfect.


Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.
