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.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
The wicked works a deceitful work, but to him that sows righteousness shall be a sure reward.
He that follows after righteousness and mercy shall find life, righteousness, and honour.
To do righteousness and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord weighs the hearts.
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.
Justiça em Cristo
Deus tornou Cristo a nossa justiça. Pela fé somos declarados justos diante de Deus — não por obras, mas pela graça.
For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live temperately, righteously, and godly in this present world;
But thou, O man of God, flee these things and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, charity, tolerance, meekness.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, exercise yourselves in these things.
Do not deceive yourselves; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows that shall he also reap.
And let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.
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 the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace unto those that make peace.
Confess your faults one to another and pray one for another that ye may be whole. The effectual prayer of the righteous is very powerful.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
For the Lord loves uprightness and does not forsake his merciful ones; they are preserved for ever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Ain
The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
Ain
Surely he shall not be moved for ever;
Lamed
the righteous shall be in eternal remembrance.
Mem
Blessed is the man that does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful.
With my whole heart I have sought thee; O let me not err from thy commandments.
Consequências
O Senhor recompensará cada um segundo suas obras. A justiça exalta a nação e traz segurança aos que a praticam.
who will render to everyone according to his deeds:
See that no one renders evil for evil unto anyone, but always follow that which is good, both among yourselves and to all men.
But also if ye suffer anything for righteousness’ sake, blessed are ye; therefore, be not afraid of their terror neither be troubled,
And if ye do good to those who do good to you, what grace shall ye have? for sinners also do even the same.
It is a snare unto man to devour that which is holy and afterward to reconsider his vows.
