Always Righteous -Zephaniah 3:5

This is an interesting verse. Surrounding it we hear about how wicked Jerusalem is, and the judgement from God that is about to come. And then this is in the middle:
"The LORD is righteous in her midst, He will do no unrighteousness. Every morning He brings His justice to light; He never fails, But the unjust knows no shame."
All around we hear about how sinful Jerusalem is, and then we see this clear promise that God is always righteous...We are faithfully unrighteous, and God is faithfully righteous.

It's also amazing to realize that this faithful righteousness was imputed to us through Jesus' death on the Cross...
