Here Bob Marley is
singing about
JUSTICE –
What is
JUSTICE?
What RIGHTS is
he taking about?
The song says…
“We know when we
understand:
Almighty God is
a living man”
What do you think
he meant by
this?
For Christians JUSTICE is not
only about the law or
punishing criminals.
Christians believe that they
should behave JUSTLY,
which means…
TREATING OTHER PEOPLE
IN A FAIR AND JUST
WAY.
Use the following slides to
work out WHY Christians
believe this and WHY
JUSTICE is important to
Christians.
“This is what the LORD says
:Maintain JUSTICE and do what
is right” (Isaiah 56:1)
This means…
God expects humanity to act in a
JUST way.
“So God created
mankind in His own
image, in the image of
God he created them;
male and female He
created them.”
(Genesis 1:27)
The Bible teaches…
Everyone was created equally
by God and should therefore
be treated fairly and justly .
‘Love thy
neighbour”
Jesus taught…
everyone should be treated equally
and fairly (e.g. by helping the poor
and those in need)
‘…do to others what you would have them do to you…’ (Matthew 7:12)
This means…
treat everyone in the same
way, in the right way, how
you would expect to be
treated.
Churches teach their
congregation to…
behave JUSTLY, they
promote helping the poor and
those in need.
On Judgement Day…
God will judge humanities behaviour on
Earth – those that have behaved
JUSTLY will be rewarded and those
that have acted UNJUSTLY will be
punished.
