Eternal props for true justice
Dr. Roberto Miranda
SUMMARY: The only foundation for a just society is the word and values of the Kingdom of God. Humanistic reasoning cannot achieve justice fully. Without God's absolute and timeless reference points, societies fall into moral relativism and disguised injustice. The modern individual is easily disoriented, calling bad good and good bad. Justice based on human preferences and cultural fashions is far from representing God's absolute and unchangeable justice. The antidote is the healthy wisdom that comes from God, illuminated by the Holy Spirit. When societies submit their minds to divine illumination, they will understand justice, equity, and every good way.
The only solid foundation for a just and prosperous society is undoubtedly the word and values of the Kingdom of God. Using purely ethical and humanistic reasoning, a nation will never be able to elaborate a truly just system.
Proverbs 14:12 states: “There is a way that seems right to a man; but its end is the way of death ”. Jeremiah 17: 9 adds: "The heart is deceitful above all things, and perverse." In other words, man needs more than his own moral reasoning and speculation to arrive at full justice. It requires the fixed points of God's absolute and eternal wisdom to orient itself correctly.
