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.
18 The wicked practiseth a work of falsehood; but he that soweth righteousness obtaineth the reward of truth.
21 He that pursueth righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.
3 To exercise righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
2 Every way of a man is straight in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the hearts.
2 Treasures of wickedness will not profit aught; but righteousness will deliver 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.
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.
28 For the Lord loveth justice, and never forsaketh his pious servants: they are for ever preserved; but the seed of the wicked will be cut off.
15 (34:16) The eyes of the Lord are directed unto the righteous, and his ears unto their cry.
6 Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.
1 BOOK FIRST: Happy is the man who walketh not in the council of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;
10 With all my heart have I sought thee: oh let me not wander astray from thy commandments.
Consequências
O Senhor recompensará cada um segundo suas obras. A justiça exalta a nação e traz segurança aos que a praticam.
25 It is a snare to a man to sanctify things hastily, and to make inquiry only after having made vows.
