The Lord’s character is revealed in these two verses. He is right. He is true. He is faithful in all he does. He is righteousness. He is justice. He is love. He pours out his love on all the earth.

Being true means he is consistent with fact and reality. Jesus is the true one and he is truthful. Jesus is real and genuine. He is reliable and accurate to reality.
Being faithful means he is adhering firmly and devotedly to a person, a cause, and an idea. Jesus is worthy of trust and belief. He is reliable. He is always here.
Being righteousness means being morally upright, without guilt, and sin. Jesus is in accordance with virtue and morality. He is perfect in character. God is holy, holy, and holy.
Being justice means he is moral righteousness. Jesus conforms to moral righteousness in action and attitude. He upholds what is just, especially fair treatment and due reward in accordance with honor, truth, and law.
Being love means having a deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward others. Jesus’ love is displayed in this, while I was still a sinner in rebellion against him he died so I could live life to the full. (1 John 3:16) Jesus poured out his love when his blood poured onto the cross. “Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing,” is Jesus’ expression as he hung on the cross. (Luke 23:34)
