Today we will discuss the important points of fighting for justice from God’s Word. The Bible commands us to always stand up for justice and righteousness.
In our daily lives, we are often faced with situations where we have to judge between right and wrong. As believers, we must always stand up for what is right. We must speak out against injustice and reflect God’s righteousness through our actions.
God sees everything and He wants us to make righteous decisions and glorify Him. Jesus Christ Himself fought for justice and saved us. Through His actions, He showed us that we should stand up for the helpless and weak and do what is right.
