TIKKUN OLAM: Just & Unjust

God is not limited to only working through Christians to bring justice upon the world. We can bless wherever we see God’s justice coming to the earth, and we can speak up when we see unjust practices perpetrated by human institutions. Part of our struggle is that we are so entrenched in politics because it’s the new religion - it gives us a sense of belonging, meaning, and a concrete worldview. Even as American Christians we can see “justice” through a partisan lens that may become a blindspot to advocating for human dignity. Part of the work of salvation is, as we are found more and more “in Christ”, we are able to see what is going in the world about us and critique political claims that run contrary to God’s will.
