If anyone sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?
1 John 3:17

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love does not delight in evil.

Truth is more than being right.

Truth is God’s reality as embodied and revealed in Jesus.

Injustice distorts what’s true.

Love delights in God’s reality lived out.

Bottom Line: Love is on the side of justice.

God is just.

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.
Deuteronomy 32:4

For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!
Isaiah 30:18

Jesus reveals the truth of God’s justice.

We are called to embody God’s justice.

He has shown you what is good. And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
