Philosophy
Justice is the imperative of all Christians being formed into the image of Christ. It is at the very heart of God, one of the attributes that describes the entirety of God’s being - for God is just in love, just in transcendence, just in omnipotence, just in wrath, just in God’s relational nature. Micah reminds wayward Israel that she has been told what God desires; it is not extravagant sacrifice, holocaust or oblation (Micah 6:6,7). Instead, says the prophet,
He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
(Micah 6:8 NRSV)
