Justice flows from God's heart and character. Throughout the Old and New Testaments God seeks to make the object of his love whole. This is what motivates God in his judgments on sin and injustice on an individual and corporate level. Only as we despair of ourselves and cling to Jesus can we participate in his work of restoring lives, the church, and the world by the Spirit of the Lord. We, the church, are to live now in light of Jesus' restoration of all things.
