Justiça
A justiça é atributo de Deus e vocação do cristão. A Bíblia chama os crentes a buscar a justiça, praticar o que é reto e confiar no Deus que julga justamente.
Buscar a justiça
Buscai primeiro o Reino de Deus e a sua justiça. Quem semeia justiça colherá galardão seguro e duradouro.
33 Seek you but first the kingdom of the God and the righteousness of him, and these all shall be superadded to you.
Justiça em Cristo
Deus tornou Cristo a nossa justiça. Pela fé somos declarados justos diante de Deus — não por obras, mas pela graça.
21 Him for not having known sin, on behalf of us sin was made, that we might become righteousness of God in him.
11 Shone forth for the favor of the God that saving for all men,12 admonishing us, so that having renounced the impiety and the worldly desires, prudently and righteously and piously we may live in the present age;
11 Thou but, O man of the God, these things flee; pursue thou and righteousness, piety, faith, love, patience, meekness;
8 The remaining, brethren, what things is, true, what things honorable, what things just, what things pure, what things amiable, what things of good report, if any virtue and if any praise, these things attentively consider;
7 Not do you mistake; God not is to be mocked at. That for if may sow a man, this also he will reap;
9 The but good doing not we should reap; in a season for its own we shall reap, not fainting.
Praticar a justiça
O fruto da justiça semeia-se em paz para os que promovem a paz. Os olhos do Senhor estão sobre os justos.
18 Fruit and of righteousness in peace is sown by those making peace.
16 Confess you to each other the faults, and pray you on behalf of each other, so that you may be healed; greatly prevails a prayer of a just being operative.
8 draw you near to the God, and he will draw near to you; cleanse you hands, sinners, and purify you hearts, twosouled ones.
Consequências
O Senhor recompensará cada um segundo suas obras. A justiça exalta a nação e traz segurança aos que a praticam.
6 who will render to each according to the works of him;
15 See you, no one evil in place of evil to any one should render; but always the good pursue you both towards each other and towards all.
14 But if even you suffer because of righteousness, happy ones. The but fear of them not do you fear, neither should you troubled;
33 And if you should do good those doing good you, what to you thanks is it? also for the sinners the same do.
