DO YOU WANT PERFECT JUSTICE? REALLY?

Do you know what it is and the role of spiritual justice? Understand a little more in this video and learn how to use your faith to erase the marks of your sin.

Let’s reflect on Spiritual Justice together. What is it, and why is it essential for you to understand it?

Spiritual Justice is perfect because it originates from the Righteous Judge, who is God. It is the only perfect form of justice because when we talk about the courts of this world, we speak of gimmick of true justice. From the moment humans moved away from God, they moved away from true justice.

To realise this, consider what comes from the courts and their results. For example, you live for years with a person, and they betray you. After many attempts, you realise that divorce is necessary. And that person wants their share of the money. So, you go to court. After a lengthy process, there is a conclusion: the justice system tries to resolve the harm, but problems always arise.

However, Divine Justice determines that two should become one flesh until the end of life. It requires sacrificing for each other. The wife respects her husband and supports him, and the husband also acts rightly before God. Divine Justice determines what will benefit all parties.

To access Divine Justice, you don’t have to pay money; the currency is faith. The lawyer is the Lord Jesus. Through faith, we obtain the rights of Spiritual Justice. On the Throne, we have God, who is perfect Justice and the perfect Father. He provides resources for you to approach Him, using faith to seek Divine Justice.

That’s why we have many examples of people who didn’t deserve it but received Divine Justice.

For example, in the Bible, there’s the story of Zacchaeus, who was a tax theft. It was like a “white-collar theft” of today. He heard of Jesus, who invited Himself to go to Zacchaeus’s house. Realising he was a sinner, Zacchaeus decided during dinner not to steal anymore and to restore what he had stolen. Jesus didn’t demand this from him, but Zacchaeus’s decision was sincere. Among those present, Zacchaeus publicly declared his change. Jesus forgave him, giving him peace, salvation, and forgiveness. Zacchaeus finished his dinner forgiven. How did he achieve Divine Justice so quickly? It was because he promptly decided to change and start again. This was the case with many others in the Bible.

A person may have committed heinous acts in the past, but when they give their lives to God, He cleanses their past, and that person becomes a man or woman of God.

Once, the religious wanted to set a trap for the Lord Jesus, to incriminate Him. In other words, they said: “Is it fair to pay taxes to the Roman Emperor?” If the Lord Jesus said it was fair, He would have problems with the Jews. And if He said it wasn’t fair, He would have problems with the Romans. In His wisdom, the Lord Jesus said: “Take a coin. Whose face is it? From Caeser. So give Caesar what is his and give God what is His” (Matthew 22:21).

Therefore, we receive Divine Justice when we give God what belongs to Him.

Think: you want Divine Justice, but have you been giving what belongs to God? And have you been giving others what belongs to them?
