What Faith in Justice Sounds Like

 In this life the best approximation of justice will often sound like this:


“I will maintain my positive disposition towards you because I know I am in a story written by God who loves me and my proper response to that is to do what is right, honor only his authority, and be grateful. But know this, you are sinning against me and against God by engaging in this behavior. It’s a terrible thing to fall into the hands of an angry God. I therefore urge your to repent against me, those you are wronging, and have faith in my and God’s willingness to forgive a truly repentant person.” 


The reason this disposition is correct is because you are not the judge of the world. You job is to do what is right within your power and it’s often impossible for you to punish people appropriately for the evil they have done to you or are doing to others. You are not, under any circumstances, permitted to give into despair, acting as if God does not see or that men and women will not be held accountable for everything they do. 


Let this be a stark rebuke to all nations who act as if they are the arbiters of justice. Let this be a warning to churches who emphasize church discipline more than Christian faith, patience, humility, and mercy. 


Oh how terrible a day it will be for those who, in a desire to get what they want, have leaned on the mechanisms of power, like violence and threats of violence! How brutal it will be for you who have withheld your support from the just and given your support to the unjust! How miserable will those be who have been faithless! 


Take heart in this, dear Christian. God is just and He sees all. He will repay all according to what they have done, honor to those who deserve honor and dishonor to those who deserve dishonor. Therefore, do what is right, rest in his perfect authority, and be grateful, like children in the presence of their all love and all powerful Heavenly Father, the King of Heaven and Earth.
