The Bible presents God as a just God who calls for justice among his people, for creation, and in the world. We know what justice is when we know who God is. The just nature of God defines our understanding of justice.

Danielle Strickland speaks of the biblical triangle of faith, mercy, and justice. "Our relationship with God could be described as a triangle of faith, mercy (or peace) and justice. Scripture does not present them as competing aspects, or suggest that one flows out of the other; rather, they are a triangle that forms the basis of our relationship with God. Each text [Mic 6:8, Mt 23:23, and Rom 14:17] places justice or righteousness first on the list. Justice is not an optional extra. It is our first activity. Justice is the first and primary demand that God places on his people. As a God of justice (or righteousness), he expects that we, his community, be his agents for bringing justice to bear in the world; to usher in a just society without discrimination and wit fair treatment and equality for all." Danielle Strickland, Just: Imagine: the Social Justice Awakening (Milton Keynes: Authentic, 2009), 24-25.
