Frequently Asked Questions

Why does God allow injustice?

God allows human free will, which sometimes produces injustice. But He promises that every wrong will ultimately be addressed (Ecclesiastes 3:17). His patience with the wicked is actually an opportunity for their repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Final justice is guaranteed.

Should Christians pursue justice or just wait for God?

Both. Micah 6:8 calls us to 'do justly' — actively working for justice in our sphere of influence. But ultimate justice belongs to God alone (Romans 12:19). We pursue earthly justice while trusting God for final, complete judgment.
