Therefore God gave unto them commandments, after having made known unto them the plan of redemption, that they should not do evil, the penalty thereof being a second death, which was an everlasting death as to things pertaining unto righteousness; for on such the plan of redemption could have no power, for the works of justice could not be destroyed, according to the supreme goodness of God.
God's goodness--the very thing that makes him God--is his ability to be perfectly obedient to the laws by which the universe operates. He is good because he never violates a law or tries to negate justice. He is never whimsical or inconsistent. He is one hundred percent reliable. We can always trust him.
