Justice - Perspective by Krystal - CWJC



James 2:12-13 (New International Version)
12Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!

Justice is fair judgment in deciding a case that exacts the perfect punishment or award. Justice requires objective analysis, critical thinking and accountability. Justice is an attribute of God and can be an attribute of humans when they work through established governments and law.

Stand up for justice. You can do justice by righting some wrong in your family, job, or in your life. Prayer is a means of bringing justice to your world. I don’t judge anyone. Apparently some people always have judgment against me. I may say things that I regret but I never lie about what I say. There are so many people that judge but their judgment will come. Justice is sometimes wrong and sometimes right.

Some verses that I like:

“Do not judge lest you be judged.” Matthew 7:1

“Open your mouth, judge righteously, and defend the rights of the afflicted and needy.” Proverbs 31:9

“Do not judge by appearances, but judge by right judgment.” John 7:24

Prayer:
“God, help me know when I can work to bring justice to someone around me. Help me always to be fair. Thank you for showing your mercy and grace to me.” Amen
