5. Why We Do Justice Going Back to God’s Heart
Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow. (Isiah 1:17) The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. (Psalm 33:5) What does the Lord require of you? To act justice and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8)

6. Engaging in the Work of Justice
To “do justice” means to render to each what each is due. Justice involves harmony, flourishing, and fairness, and it is based on the image of God in every person – the Imago Dei – that grants all people inalienable dignity and infinite worth.
– Ken Wytsma, author of Pursuing Justice
