What does the Bible say about justice and righteousness?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible states that there is no righteous man by nature; all are guilty of sin and in need of God's mercy.
The Scripture clearly teaches that all of humanity falls short of God's glory. Romans 3:10-12 affirms that there is no righteous, not even one, and that all have turned aside from the path of righteousness. Furthermore, Isaiah 59 reveals that there is no justice to be found among men due to our sinful nature. Justice is an attribute of God, and in His law, He establishes what is just and right, calling all men to recognize their failure to uphold it. This realization leads us to understand that redemption can only be found in Christ, who fulfilled the law on our behalf, granting us mercy and grace.
