The Bible tells us in Zechariah 7:9 to administer True Justice. I find it striking that there may be such a thing as “false justice” implicated in this statement. In this teaching I discuss what true justice and false justice are. I discuss the difference between them and how they can be recognized.
I also explain three arenas in life that we can be sure that true justice has its proper place:
- Spiritual Justice – an inward reality
- Personal Justice – an interpersonal reality
- Social Justice – an outward necessity
In spiritual justice I explain the legal aspects of what Christ did for us in the courtroom of heaven.
In personal justice I discuss a trap that many of us often fall into of battling for “fairness” over true justice in our interpersonal relationships, and how that can affect our view-point on true justice in other areas of life.
Finally, in social justice I talk about the fact that many modern social justice movements are designed, at their foundation, to actually deceive and lead people away from the truth, and I discuss exactly why the Bible tells us to administer “true justice”.
I’d love to hear your thoughts. You can listen to the attached audio and/or read the PDF notes, and let me know what you think below in the comments.
A sobering thought from scripture is the fact that, not only will deception come, but that we all have the capacity to be deceived. We are warned not to be deceived, and even told how it is possible for it to happen.
