The Gospel of Social Justice

July 17, 2021

In this conclusion to our Worldview series, we looked at the world’s idea of social justice and how the Bible calls us to love others. We established the idea that justice in all its forms must start with God; He defines what justice means, and illustrates it in the Gospel. What we see in Scripture is that justice is simply receiving what we deserve without favor, as opposed to the notion of social justice where one receives what they don’t deserve because of favoritism. This demonstrates how social justice shows partiality, as opposed to Biblical justice that is impartial. This is important for believers to understand as justice ultimately illustrates the Gospel; a holy and just God punishing sin, yet in His mercy and grace takes the punishment on to Himself. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is our example of how true justice and love is to be reflected into the world.
