Eternal props for true justice

SUMMARY: The foundation for a just and prosperous society is the word and values of the Kingdom of God. Man's moral reasoning is faulty and needs the fixed points of God's wisdom to orient themselves correctly. Without God's absolute and timeless points of reference, society falls into moral relativism and situational ethics, calling bad good and good bad. What seems fair to humans is often subjective projections of their selfish preferences. The antidote is the healthy wisdom that comes from God and the mind of Christ illuminated by the Holy Spirit. Humbling oneself before Jesus Christ and submitting to divine illumination will lead to understanding 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.
