DOING JUSTLY IN GOD'S EYES
Today’s message discusses the role of a prophet, particularly focusing on the Prophets Micah, Isaiah and Malachi and emphasizes the importance of doing justly as a commandment from God. Highlighting the need for integrity, impartiality, and respect for truth in justice on the part of every follower of Jesus, it contrasts God's definition of justice with contemporary societal views.
• Role of a Prophet: A prophet acts as a spokesperson for God, confronting injustice and promoting hope without favoring any political party.
• Micah's Example: Micah serves as a model of a true prophet called by God, motivated by the desire to communicate God’s perspective to His people in a call to repentance as a means to rectify the wrongs of his time.
• Doing Justly: The command to do justly involves living righteously and producing justice in a manner that aligns with God's standards rather than societal norms.
• Impartiality in Justice: Justice should be applied impartially, without favoritism towards the powerful or the weak, as emphasized in various biblical texts.
• Respecting Truth: This message stresses the importance of adhering to God's truth, as neglecting it leads to injustice and societal corruption.
• Call to Action: Believers are encouraged to embody God's justice in their lives, promoting a culture of integrity and truth in their communities.
