God's Nature (2)

The law we are called to obey is a law that comes from Him. It is His law. It is a law that defines a relationship— the relationship between the Creator and the creature, between the sovereign and the vassal, between the King and His subjects. Not only is it His law in the sense that it comes from Him, but most significantly, it is a law that comes from and reflects His own character. It reveals and displays His righteousness, and therefore, it makes known what righteousness is. Notice that order. It is not that we first have a sense of righteousness and then we see that God conforms to it. Rather, first there is God in His perfect character, who is the standard of righteousness, and all righteousness is the revelation of who He is.

R.C. Sproul The Law God's Nature

God is a law unto Himself. This differs from the idea that God is ex lex in that the behavior of God is never lawless. The actions of God are always in conformity to the law of God's own nature and character, which is inherently righteous and eternally holy. All of His actions come forth according to who He is.How Does God\'s Law Apply to Me?
