Justice and Love
When we achieve justice here on earth, it is an act of love for God’s people.
According to this verse, justice brings joy to us. Maybe because justice at its core is a Godly thing, so taking part in justice brings us closer to Him. Maybe because as image bearers of God, emotionally and intellectually, there is satisfaction in justice. Maybe because all of creation, once called, “very good,” (Genesis 1) resonates with the Holy when justice is found.
But whatever the reason, justice is good for us. Even though it hurts sometimes, even though it pushes us, even though it reminds us of sin’s grip, justice is good for us.
This is why Christian parents attempt to be just towards their children. (Genesis 18:19) This is why Christian businessfolk use just scales. (Proverbs 16:11) This is why Christian leaders hate corruption (Habakkuk 1:4)
Providing justice is an act of love.
Take the love God grants us.
