God's Deeds Reveal His Nature
Commentators emphasize that God's actions in the world—from creation to His dealings with humanity—are a perfect expression of His character. As Albert Barnes notes, His works are done in the cause of truth and justice. This means we can trust what God does because He never acts contrary to His righteous and truthful nature, creating what John Calvin calls a 'beautiful harmony' between His sayings and doings.
