The salvation that came through Jesus Christ further revealed God's ____ and ____.

• A. mercy; justice
• B. holiness; grace
• C. righteousness; faithfulness
• D. power; sovereignty

Answer: (C)

Salvation through Jesus Christ reveals two aspects of God's character in relation to His redemptive plan: His righteousness and His faithfulness. Righteousness means God upholds a perfect moral standard and acts justly, especially in dealing with sin. Christ’s life, death, and resurrection demonstrate that justice is satisfied for believers while enabling forgiveness. Faithfulness speaks to God’s steadfast commitment to His promises and covenants; He planned a Savior, sent Him, and continues to fulfill every word He has spoken. Together, these reveal that God can be trusted to act with perfect justice and to keep His redeeming promises. While other attributes like mercy, holiness, grace, power, or sovereignty are true of God, the combination of righteousness and faithfulness most directly captures how salvation manifests God’s just standard and His reliable faithfulness.
