He who serves this God is safe

AELW 9:291

“All His ways are justice” (Deut. v. 4); that is, the whole life of His believers is right and true, going forward in the Word and commandment, not in their own ways and ideas. So God is faithful, without sin, righteous, and true. All this he says about God as He is worshiped and believed, not only about the nature of God; as if he declared against false gods and worshipers: He who serves this God is safe; he has a faithful God, with whom he is at peace. In this worship there is no sin, but there is pure righteousness and uprightness; and all these things are faithful, certain, and solid. On the other hand, for idol-worshipers nothing is secure, nothing is faithful and certain; but their wandering and uncertain conscience always shifts, and whatever they do in their life is sheer iniquity and evil, however they seem to themselves to be otherwise."
