A Biblical View of Justice

I encourage you to view Pleasing God by Pursuing Justice. It may be found under Topical Studies in the top right corner of the Home Page.

We are in a world turned upside down by injustice. I encourage you to consider what the Bible says about justice. Pleasing God by Pursuing Justice looks at biblical verses that show God’s heart for justice and what is expected of every Christian. It begins by asking five questions concerning justice, What is justice? Who understands justice? Who doesn’t understand justice? What does God expect of Christians concerning justice? and Will justice ever prevail? Please take time to read the study and consider the many verses in the Bible on justice. One of my favorites is Micah 6:8, He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Richest blessings from God despite these perilous times.
