Making things right — God's commitment to fairness, equity, and setting wrongs straight
Justice in the Bible is deeply connected to God's character. He defends the oppressed, judges the wicked, and restores what's broken. The prophets (especially Amos, Micah, Isaiah) hammered Israel for ignoring justice while performing religious rituals. Micah 6:8 summarizes it: 'Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God.' Jesus embodied justice on the cross — satisfying God's righteous standard while extending mercy.
