Justice in the Bible and Christianity
What does the Bible say about justice? What does biblical justice look like? How do the Creator God and his Son Jesus Christ talk about justice? How should Christians respond to injustice? We all desire justice in our lives and our communities. We’re rightly outraged by corruption and evil. But what about racial and social justice? Both the Old and New Testaments reveal that justice is not only close to God's heart, but that true biblical justice is tied to righteousness and flows directly from God's own character.
The articles, Bible study podcasts, and resources listed below dig deep into God’s Word to answer tough questions about justice and its implications for the Christian life. We’ve curated these resources from Groundwork and others in the family of programs from ReFrame Ministries.
