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 things shall be added to you.
The wicked man does deceptive work,
But he who sows righteousness willhave a sure reward.
He who follows righteousness and mercy
Finds life, righteousness, and honor.
To do righteousness and justice
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 made Him who knew no sin tobe sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Trained by Saving Grace
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
The Good Confession
But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.
Meditate on These Things
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things arenoble, whatever things arejust, whatever things are pure, whatever things arelovely, whatever things are of good report, if thereis any virtue and if thereis anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
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.
Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails 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 the Lord loves justice,
And does not forsake His saints;
They are preserved forever,
But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
The eyes of the Lordare on the righteous,
And His ears areopen to their cry.
Surely he will never be shaken;
The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly
Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your 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 each one according to his deeds":
See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.
But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, youare blessed. "And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled."
And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
Itis a snare for a man to devote rashly somethingas holy,
And afterward to reconsider his vows.
