Reliability through Cronbach's alpha

Reliability is the degree to which an assessment tool produces stable and consistent results.
Test-retest reliability is a measure of reliability obtained by administering the same test twice
over a period of time to a group of individuals.
Cronbach's alpha is a measure of internal consistency, that is, how closely related a set of items
are as a group. It is considered to be a measure of scale reliability. Technically speaking,
Cronbach's alpha is not a statistical test - it is a coefficient of reliability (or consistency).
What must be the value of Alpha Coefficient to conclude that items are consisting or not?
Let suppose I have the alpha coefficient for the three items (justice questions) is .839, suggesting
that the items have relatively high internal consistency. (Note that a reliability coefficient of
.70or higher is considered acceptable " in most social science research situations.) And here is
also another reference.
