Embracing the Justice of God: A Cornerstone of Faith at Spirit & Truth Church
At Spirit & Truth Church in Fort Collins, CO, we believe understanding God’s attributes deepens our worship and shapes our mission. Among these attributes, God’s justice stands as a pillar of His character, calling us to live with integrity, compassion, and bold faith. Rooted in Scripture and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we explore how His justice transforms lives and communities.
The Foundation of God’s Justice
God’s justice is inseparable from His holiness. As Deuteronomy 32:4 declares, “He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He”. This justice isn’t merely punitive—it’s restorative, reflecting His desire to make right what sin has broken.
Fairness and Impartiality: God’s justice transcends human biases. He “does not show favoritism” (Acts 10:34) but judges with perfect equity.
Righteousness in Action: The Bible repeatedly pairs justice with mercy (Micah 6:8), showing that God’s judgments are always tempered with love.
Fulfilled in Christ: Jesus bore the penalty for our sin, satisfying God’s justice while extending grace to all who believe (Romans 3:23-26).
Living Justly in Spirit and Truth
At Spirit & Truth, we strive to mirror God’s justice through Spirit-empowered obedience and Bible-centered living. Our dual focus on spirit and truth (John 4:23) means:
1. Advocating for the Vulnerable
Following Micah 6:8, we “do justice” by defending the oppressed, caring for the marginalized, and stewarding resources generously. This aligns with our mission to “transform the world around us” through Gospel witness.
2. Walking in Personal Integrity
God’s Word “guards us” against sin (Psalm 19:7-9)1, calling us to holiness. As the Holy Spirit frees us from sin’s power (Romans 8:13)1, we grow into Christ’s image, reflecting His justice in everyday choices.
3. Trusting Divine Timing
While injustice often seems to prevail, we hold fast to Paul’s assurance: “God will bring justice to His elect” (Luke 18:7-8). His final judgment will right every wrong (Revelation 16:7), motivating us to persevere in hope.
