God established his throne in heaven
When the sovereign triune God created heaven he established his throne on a firm foundation as an expression of his relational nature of love. According to the Bible the foundation for God�s rule is his unchangeable, holy, good, moral character:
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you. (Psalm 89:14)
The very nature of God is the foundation of his right to rule and that nature is also being expressed in his rule. Covenant love, mercy and faithfulness go before him - wherever his rule is manifested, there will be kindness, love, mercy, faithfulness and fidelity. Love, the covenantal nature of the triune God, is the cause, the motivational power behind everything he does because he is love. Only when one is ruled by love, one can exercise authority right - without love there is even no right to rule.
God�s faithfulness is the guarantee that he will bring to fulfilment, to completion, to glorification everything under his rule - guarantee of everlasting, unshakeable rule.
God�s righteousness is the guarantee that God�s rule will always take the right actions. God�s justice is the guarantee that the judgements of the King will always be just and a guarantee that all will receive a fair treatment. Righteousness and justice are expressions of covenant love and faithfulness
