Justice

Describing justice is much like describing “love” or “motherhood.” You can give definitions for these words, but true understanding of justice, just like love or motherhood, comes from embracing it fully and carrying it out personally. For followers of Jesus, justice is a lifestyle. So, what is justice? Simply put, justice is the quality of being just (righteous) or fair. Man’s understanding of justice is often based on the relevant culture of the day, along with rewards and punishments. Justice, much like truth, is not determined by what we think, nor is it based on society’s opinions, but it is based on Who God IS. Without truth, there is no real justice. Without God, there is no truth. God’s justice is perfect because He is the Spirit of Truth. The following pages are intended to help the reader gain a better understanding of God’s justice and His underlying perfection that pursues us and powerfully impacts our entire world.
