What does Jehoshaphat’s response to rebuke teach about true repentance?

Jehoshaphat humbly receives rebuke and responds with reform, showing that true repentance produces tangible change aligned with God’s holiness.

Why does Scripture link justice with the fear of the Lord?

Because justice flows from God’s character. The fear of the Lord guards leaders from partiality, bribes, and corruption, leading to righteous judgment.

How can I reflect Christ’s righteousness in my sphere of influence?

Practice integrity, impartiality, and mercy in decisions at home, church, work, and community, pointing others to Christ, the righteous Judge.
