Today we will be dealing with 20 bible verses about justice.
Justice is a just behavior. To be just is to be fair and act on what is morally right and acceptable. Jesus said thou shall not judge. All power in heaven and on earth belongs to God. When Jesus gives us the power to use, we should use it for his glory. We should serve Justice whenever we are in position to do so. We shouldn’t be bias or unfair. There are many times Jesus talked about being just. When people were about to condemn the adulterer in the bible, Jesus said the person who is without sin should be the first to throw the stone.
No one could, meaning they were all guilty of one sin or the other. Jesus said we should be fair. When we serve Justice let’s do so with the purest of heart, our God is love. Our God is a God of justice, we are to act according to His will and never judge unfairly. Sinners will be thrown into hell not the sins we committed, we shouldn’t continue to Sin and expect grace to continue to be there for us.
If someone committed a sin against your family member, and the judge allowed them to go Scot free you will be enraged , same as God, that’s why He ordered that we should judge fairly without being biased. Twenty bible verses that talked at length how important and necessary it is to be just have been collected and will be listed below.
