Justice & The Character of God

Christians reflect the image of God, in part, by loving our neighbors. We are compelled to extend grace and mercy, because loving and giving grace are central aspects of who God is. And we are also called to do justice, because doing justice—that is, dismantling unjust systems and caring for the victims of injustice, the oppressed—is also part of the essence of God’s character. If our lives of service to God make up our worship to him, then doing justice is an act of worship.
