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 the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these will be added to you.
The wicked is getting a lying wage, || And whoever is sowing righteousness—a true reward.
Whoever is pursuing righteousness and kindness, || Finds life, righteousness, and honor.
To do righteousness and judgment, || Is chosen of YHWH rather than sacrifice.
Every way of a man [is] right in his own eyes, || And YHWH is pondering hearts.
Treasures of wickedness do not profit, || And 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 Him having not known sin [to be] sin in our behalf, that we may become the righteousness of God in Him.
For the saving grace of God has appeared to all men, teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, we may live soberly, and righteously, and piously in the present age,
and you, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness.
As to the rest, brothers, as many things as are true, as many as [are] revered, as many as [are] righteous, as many as [are] pure, as many as [are] lovely, as many as [are] of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, think on these things;
Do not be led astray: God is not mocked; for what a man may sow—that he will also reap,
and in doing good we should not be weary, for at the proper time we will reap—not desponding;
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 in peace is sown to those making peace.
Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying for one another, that you may be healed; very strong is a working supplication of a righteous man;
draw near to God, and He will draw near to you; cleanse hands, you sinners! And purify hearts, you split-souled!
For YHWH is loving judgment, || And He does not forsake His saintly ones, || They have been kept for all time, || And the seed of the wicked is cut off.
The eyes of YHWH [are] to the righteous, || And His ears to their cry.
For he is not moved for all time; For the righteous is a continuous memorial.
O the blessedness of that one, || Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, || And has not stood in the way of sinners, || And has not sat in the seat of scorners;
I have sought You with all my heart, || Do not let me err 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 render to each according to his works;
see [that] no one may render evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue that which is good, both to one another and to all;
But if you also should suffer because of righteousness, [you are] blessed! And do not be afraid of their fear, nor be troubled,
and if you do good to those doing good to you, what grace is it to you? For also the sinful do the same;
A snare to a man [that] he has swallowed a holy thing, || And to make inquiry after vows.
