Joy-filled, Peace-filled Kingdom Justice
Joy-filled, Peace-filled Kingdom Justice

When choosing a career, I faced a dilemma. I wanted to do was justice work, but that life seemed to come with baggage: hopeless from dealing with injustice all the time, frustration at the world never changing, premature wrinkles. I thought I had to choose between a life filled with peace, joy, fun, sleep- OR justice. I couldn’t have it all.

Justice: Hiding in Translation
Justice: Hiding in Translation

When I first started studying what the Bible said about justice topics, I thought I knew exactly how to find them: search for the word “justice.” But there’s a problem with looking for justice in the New Testament. If you type “justice” into a Bible word search engine, it doesn’t appear much. “Justice” appears only 11 times in the ESV translation, 9 times in the NASB, and 8 times in the NKJV. For those translations, “justice” shows up more in the book of Isaiah—around three times more, in fact—than in the entire New Testament.

Why can't I "see" justice in the New Testament?
Why can't I "see" justice in the New Testament?

I’m starting a new blog series on Justice in the New Testament because I want to get beyond the surface “Is justice in the Bible?” conversations. It seems like because justice is being re-discovered in American Evangelical churches, the only teaching we get is the “Justice 101: Don’t freak out, yes social justice is a Christian thing, too” sermons. When we are only asking whether justice is even in there, we miss out on so much. Specifically, I think Evangelicals are confused about how social justice/justice and righteousness fit into the New Testament.

It’s hard to see that the New Testament values justice when it seems almost silent on the subject.

Western-ish-Flavored Views of Justice Versus Hebrew
Western-ish-Flavored Views of Justice Versus Hebrew

Part of the challenge of learning about biblical justice is that our Western-ish views of justice are so different from Hebraic views from the time the Bible was originally written in. When an American Christian hears about justice, the images that we think of probably things like police officers, punishment, and courtrooms (and maybe a great TV drama about all those things). Unfortunately, that can make us reject doing justice now because we think of it through our Western-ish lenses. If God were to love our Western-flavored justice, then that would make Him a law-obsessed, punishment-loving judge. That is so far from what we know about God from the New Testament, so therefore we reject doing justice as Christians out of a genuine desire to reflect the Bible. But that is not at all the right image of a justice-loving God, or how we as Christians should do biblical justice.
