Searching Blog: #Justice
The Minor Prophets of the Old Testament are filled with the recurring themes of God’s judgment and hope. Join Groundwork as we study these themes in our series “The Minor Prophets: God’s Judgment and Hope” and discover how their prophetic calls to repentance, messages of judgment, and promises of restoration shape our faith as followers of Jesus Christ today.
Justice is a frequently recurring theme in the Bible, especially in the Old Testament. But does justice simply mean what’s fair or what’s legal? How do we pursue true justice in our Christian lives?
When Christians talk about justice, they often specify biblical justice. Why? Studying the theme of justice across the whole of scripture shows us that justice from God’s perspective encompasses and requires more than the dictionary definition of justice and the workings of our civil laws. By seeking biblical justice we have the opportunity to witness the unfolding of God’s kingdom here on earth.
Our experiences differ, but we’re all impacted in some way by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, social inequality, and racial injustice. Join Groundwork as we reflect on how God’s Word speaks to our current reality through our series, “Biblical Advice for Living Faithfully in Trying Times.”
By studying the theme of justice throughout scripture, we ground ourselves in God’s perspective, come to understand the biblical definition of justice, and are able to confidently respond to God’s call to seek justice for those who do not have the power to seek it for themselves.
Does it feel like God’s not answering your prayers? Are you wondering why God lets tragedy happen? The often overlooked book of Habakkuk is where you’ll find the answers.
