from CompassCare Hosted by CompassCare Pregnancy Services
Christians understand what injustice really is—a denial of what it means to be human under God. Scripture declares that “we are His workmanship” (Eph. 2:10a). Since Jesus came to “seek and to save that which was lost” (Lk. 19:10), we are destined to walk that path too. His heart is for the weak and vulnerable, the widow and the orphan. God commands His people in Psalm 82, “Vindicate the weak and fatherless…. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked” (Ps. 82: 3a, 4b). Through the prophet Isaiah, God obligates His people saying, “Learn to do good; seek justice, reprove the ruthless, defend the orphan, plead for the widow” (Is. 1:17). There is no one more widowed than a woman who thinks she must choose between her life or her baby’s. There is no one more fatherless (orphaned) than a baby whose life is disdained by the ruling and religious elite (Lk. 10:31-32). And now Scripture says to the Christian, “For we are His workmanship…created for good works…so that we should walk in them” (Eph. 2:10). [Full Transcript]
