Your Question:
Can I get justice for what happened?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've often reflected on the concept of justice and how it relates to our faith. The Sermon on the Mount teaches us that when we're on a mission for Jesus Christ, we shouldn't worry about being treated justly. In fact, looking for justice can be a sign that we've been diverted from our devotion to Him. Jesus says, "Don't worry about whether or not you are being treated justly." This means that we shouldn't seek justice in this world, but rather focus on giving it. In Romans 5:1, it says that we've been justified by faith, which means that God's verdict over us is final and unchangeable. Nobody can challenge or alter God's decision, not even the accuser of the brethren. This means that we can have confidence in our salvation, even if we've made mistakes or sinned. As it says in Romans 4:5, "But to one who does not work but trusts in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness." In terms of seeking justice in this world, I believe that it's not our place to take matters into our own hands. Instead, we should focus on giving justice, rather than seeking it. This means being willing to forgive others, even if they've wronged us. Forgiveness is a command, and it's possible through Christ. By forgiving others, we're not condoning their behavior, but rather releasing them from the debt they owe us. This allows us to move forward and focus on giving justice, rather than seeking it.
