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.
Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things.
Wicked people do not really gain anything, but if you do what is right, you are certain to be rewarded.
Be kind and honest and you will live a long life; others will respect you and treat you fairly.
Do what is right and fair; that pleases the Lord more than bringing him sacrifices.
You may think that everything you do is right, but remember that the Lord judges your motives.
Wealth you get by dishonesty will do you no good, but honesty can save your life.
Justiça em Cristo
Deus tornou Cristo a nossa justiça. Pela fé somos declarados justos diante de Deus — não por obras, mas pela graça.
Christ was without sin, but for our sake God made him share our sin in order that in union with him we might share the righteousness of God.
For God has revealed his grace for the salvation of all people. That grace instructs us to give up ungodly living and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this world,
Personal Instructions
But you, man of God, avoid all these things. Strive for righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness.
In conclusion, my friends, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable.
Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. You will reap exactly what you plant.
So let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest.
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.
And goodness is the harvest that is produced from the seeds the peacemakers plant in peace.
So then, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you will be healed. The prayer of a good person has a powerful effect.
Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners! Purify your hearts, you hypocrites!
for the Lord loves what is right
and does not abandon his faithful people.
He protects them forever,
but the descendants of the wicked will be driven out.
The Lord watches over the righteous
and listens to their cries;
A good person will never fail;
he will always be remembered.
True Happiness
Happy are those
who reject the advice of evil people,
who do not follow the example of sinners
or join those who have no use for God.
With all my heart I try to serve you;
keep me from disobeying your commandments.
Consequências
O Senhor recompensará cada um segundo suas obras. A justiça exalta a nação e traz segurança aos que a praticam.
For God will reward each of us according to what we have done.
See that no one pays back wrong for wrong, but at all times make it your aim to do good to one another and to all people.
But even if you should suffer for doing what is right, how happy you are! Do not be afraid of anyone, and do not worry.
And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners do that!
Think carefully before you promise an offering to God. You might regret it later.
