Beschreibung

The desire of everyone in our world today is to be successful, wealthy, healthy and become fulfilled in life. Most people would want to arrive at these goals, if possible, in isolation without regard to the closest person to them, not to talk of being fair to others when they go about trying to achieve these mouth-watery goals.

However, they forgot one thing – “The Golden rule”, which says: “Do unto others what you want others to do unto you”. Whether you’re down the ladder in life and want to get to the top or you are already on top and love to remain on top, the major determinant of sustaining your esteemed position in life hung on how you treat anyone you come across, whether victims or villain.

This book: ‘Biblical justice: How Practicing Biblical justice Can Lead To Remarkable Success In Your Life, Business, Career and Family’ is written to align you to God’s orchestrated way that He wants you to go about your daily pursuits rightly, to enable you acquire all the good things you yearn to get in life and keep them, without being brought down to square one by the law of karma.

To be more precise, this book teaches “Biblical justice” (Social Justice) – in the right perspective – in a way never heard before or jettisoned. According to James, the kind of “religion that God accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world” (James 1:27). The book of Proverbs also says, “The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked has no such concern” (Prov. 29:7).

This book will teach you how you can get whatever you want by doing God to others, showing mercy to those who don’t deserve it, letting offenders go free even when you’re pained, etc., knowing that God will recompense you in miraculous ways too wonderful to be imagined.

Introduction

Whatever greatness you want to assume in life, it would be incomplete without doing justice. If you want to be blessed, you must bless others. If you want men to be kind to you, you must be kind to others. See yourself as mere steward of whatever you have in your possession. Therefore, it is of great importance to revert to the voices of biblical characters such as Prophets Micah, Malachi, John the Baptist, Apostle James and Jesus Christ.

Micah told the people of Israel, you must have seen the Lord’s righteous act in the past. God cannot be moved by your offerings, even if you offer your firstborn for your sins. However, “He has showed you, O man, 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” (Mic 6:5-8).

Jesus upheld Prophet Micah statement in Matt 23:23, when he observed that the teachers of the law and Pharisees were demonstrating outward righteousness by paying their tithes but inwardly their heart was far from God, and full of greed and self-indulgence, “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices — mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law — justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former… Blind Pharisee!” (Matt 23:23,26). The book of Luke still refers to the issue, “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone” (Luke 11:42).

The above scriptures clearly revealed to us that God requires four things from us. These are doing justice, showing mercy, walking humbly with Him, and regular payment of tithe.

Furthermore, God spoke through Malachi concerning the payment of tithe and offerings as follows: “Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. "But you ask, 'How do we rob you?' "in tithes and offerings” (Mal 3:8).

Now, let’s consider John the Baptist’s account on how to prepare for Christ. Before Jesus came into limelight, John went from place to place on both sides of the Jordan river, preaching that people should be baptized to show that they have turned to God and receive forgiveness for their sins. When the crowd came to him for baptism, he said, "Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God…” (Luke 3:7).

When the crowd heard what John the Baptist said, fear gripped them. Then they asked him, "What should we do?” Then John commandment them as follows:"If you have two shirts, give one to the poor. If you have food, share it with those who are hungry." To the corrupt tax collectors who came to be baptized, he said, "Collect no more taxes than the government requires." To the soldiers, he said, “Don’t extort money or make false accusations, and be content with your pay." (Luke 3:11-14).

Apostle James’ statement is also relevant for our consumption in this study. James said, “if you obey the royal law as found in the scriptures: "Love your neighbor as yourself", you will not favour some people over others (James 2:8-9). He went further to say that faith should be shown by actions. “Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, "Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well"—but then you don't give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? So you see, faith by itself isn't enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless” (James 2:14-17).

James remarked further, "How can you show me your faith if you don't have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds." (James 2: 18). He said further in James 1:27: “Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you”. Here, James stated emphatically that God wants us to cater for the orphans and widows in our midst. But I tell you; this scripture’s spiritually connotation demands that we see anyone having need as an orphan or widow which we must look after. He wants you to see yourself as the provider of what the parent or husband of such needy person would have under obligation done for him. You may want to ask, am I under obligation to help the needy? Yes, God says you are.

The book of First John was written by ‘the one whom Jesus loved’. John told us that the only way anyone can claim that he knows love is to reciprocate God’s love by living for others. Here what he said, “But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? “1 John 3:17). The word ‘bowel’ here means heart.

Having gone this far itemizing what God wants from us, let’s cap it up with the assertion of the Messiah– Jesus Christ. In Matt chapter 25, Jesus exclusively told us what God requires for anyone to enter the kingdom of heaven. He began by likening the kingdom of heaven to a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them. He said the man gave each servant talents according to his ability, to work with and make profit. Jesus said their master returned from his trip at a later date and asked them to give an account of how they had used his precious talents.
