then read Deuteronomy 10:12-19, Jeremiah 22:3, Micah 6:8, and James 1:27. What is the difference between how the word "equality" and "justice" are used? How should we as Christians "do justice'?
Answer: The difference of how the words equality and justice are used is the context in which they are used. In article they are used as terms that describe what certain people are after, whereas in the Bible they are used as terms that are physically applicable to every human being. The way we Christians "do justice" is by seeing people in need, i.e. orphans and widows, and lending a hand where they need it. For instance, last year my neighbors husband died of kidney failure. She has been left to take care of four dogs, an acre of property and a class A motor home. Every now and then she'll give me a call and ask me for help with something, and no matter where I am, I stop and work out a time that I can go over and help her. Sometimes it's immediate and sometimes its the next day, but the point is that I don't leave my neighbor in need hanging. I help whenever and with whatever I can. That is how Christian's "do justice" to other. We see someone in need and we help in whatever way we can, whenever we can. Sometimes that might be simply praying for a person we know to be unsaved. Other times it may involve helping someone who doesn't know they need it. Or it may be getting a couple of people together and cleaning up an elderly persons yard. Whatever the need is, we as Christian's are called to help where we can.
God bless you Riley as you continue to do that.
