Justice and Mercy

Throughout the Scriptures, God calls his people to embody his justice and mercy.  Micah 6v8 is a great example: "do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God."  There is a connection between walking humbly with God and caring about justice.  The question before us is simply how to be live out the compassion and kindness of God in everyday life. 

All throughout the Scriptures, God calls his people to live as a just and righteous people because God is righteous and just. In Genesis, we see that human beings were made "in the image of God" meaning among other things, humans were created to be God's representatives on earth and carry out His plan, abiding by the morals and concepts of justice that God himself abides by.
