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 first his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
The wicked earns deceptive gain,
but he who sows righteousness, a true reward.
He who pursues righteousness and kindness
will find life, righteousness, and honor.
Doing righteousness and justice is more acceptable
to Yahweh than sacrifice.
Every way of a man is upright in his own eyes,
but Yahweh weighs hearts.
Treasures of wickedness do not profit,
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.
He made the one who did not know sin to be sin on our behalf, in order that we could become the righteousness of God in him.
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people, training us in order that, denying impiety and worldly desires, we may live self-controlled and righteously and godly in the present age,
Renewed Charge to Timothy
But you, O man of God, flee from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patient endurance, gentleness.
Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are pleasing, whatever things are commendable, if there is any excellence of character and if anything praiseworthy, think about these things.
Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked, for whatever a person sows, this he will also reap,
And let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give up.
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 among those who make peace.
Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous person accomplishes much.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded!
For Yahweh loves justice
and will not forsake his faithful ones.
They are protected forever.
But the children of the wicked will be cut off.
The eyes of Yahweh are toward the righteous,
and his ears toward their cry for help.
For he will not be shaken forever;
the righteous will be remembered forever.
The Ways of the Righteous and the Wicked
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked;
nor does he stand in the way of sinners;
nor does he sit in the assembly of mockers.
With my whole heart I have sought you;
do not let me stray from your commands.
Consequências
O Senhor recompensará cada um segundo suas obras. A justiça exalta a nação e traz segurança aos que a praticam.
who will reward each one according to his works:
See to it that no one pays back evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue good toward one another and toward all people.
But even if you might suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not be afraid of their intimidation or be disturbed,
And if you do good to those who do good to you, what kind of credit is that to you? Even the sinners do the same!
It is a snare to humankind to say rashly "It is holy,"
and after vows, to scrutinize.
