For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth. He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. (Psalm 33:4-6)
When believers think about justice, they should first consider God’s Word. God’s Word is perfectly righteous, just, and true because it reflects who He is. Everything that God does is done in truth, and there is no lying or deception in Him.
God delights in what is just and right. The Biblical term for this is God’s righteousness. His judgments are not arbitrary or fickle. He holds Himself and others to the content of His Word.
Understanding this is not just a theological position we take. It is also pivotal for believers who love God to know how He interacts with us. He demands justice, not by man’s laws, rules, or regulations but based on the authority of what He has spoken and written in His Word.
We should also be seekers of justice. This is not based on our political party or personal beliefs but on applying and seeking His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. If you live in a free nation and get to vote, your vote is a seed for heaven’s results to appear in your country. Your voice is a seed to sow to others when you support God’s Word by letting others understand what you stand for. Sow effectively.
Practical Application
When you view what the world calls injustice, you must prioritize seeking God’s Word before the opinions of politicians and popular voices. What does God say about this in His Word? That is what you need to stand on and believe.
