Impartiality-a Characteristic of God?



1 Peter 1:17(NKJV)
17And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; 

Is impartiality a characteristic of God?  I believe the answer is yes.  We are told that God is a God of justice.  True justice requires an impartial judge.  Therefore I think it is fair to say that impartiality is a characteristic of God.

Why does it matter?  We see a lot of people that want to show partiality to one group over another in the name of fairness.  They think they are acting in a Godly matter.  In fact many churches have a division called the Office of Fairness and Social Justice that do exactly what I am talking about, favor one group over another.

But I ask you, based on the Scripture above, are they really acting in a Godly way by showing partiality?  Hmm?
