In this sermon Pastor Keith explains how God calls His people to pursue justice in society as a response to who He is, what He has said and what He has done. He explores what biblical justice is, why we should pursue and how we are to pursue justice. Justice is much more than legal equity; it refers to the entire scope of God’s government of his world. Thus, “to do justice” involves on the part of government a fair and just use of power and proper functioning of a fair judicial system, especially to protect the weak from the strong. On the part of individuals, “justice” involves honest and fair business dealings and faithfulness to keep one’s word, as well as not taking advantage of the poor or those with less power or protection. John Oswalt Biblical justice seeks to protect individual liberty while promoting personal responsibility. It is the equitable and impartial application of the rule of God’s moral law in society. There is no clear and right definition of justice that excludes God. Dr. Tony Evans
