Love & Justice

Love and justice are essential to Christianity. They are at the very foundation of the character and nature of God. But for humans, they are not easy to keep in balance. Some people pervert love by excusing other people's bad behaviors - and thus enable them. Others pervert justice and fail to love others. But love without justice leaves people in their sins. And justice without love drives people away from God. The two must be kept in balance.
