“Yet if we want to live out justice the way God commands and celebrates, we must prioritize the gospel. If we truly want to see human flourishing and reduce global suffering, we need to deal with the biggest problem humanity faces: sin and death.”
If we haven’t noticed, social justice is on the rise with the younger generation. However, we frequently find that Christians deeply interested in social justice are less keen to infuse their passion with gospel truth, relying instead of “social goods” or “commonsense goods.” To ignore God’s desire for human flourishing is to miss out on a deeply rich component of the Gospel that brings the true justice that earnest social justice proponents seek – it’s a justice grounded in Jesus’s path to the foot of the Cross.
