Justice means getting what you deserve without favor. “Social justice” means getting what you don’t deserve because you are favored.
We see justice demanded of God's people in Isaiah 1:17, Proverbs 31:8-9, Exodus 23:1-9, Leviticus 19:15, James 1:27 and elsewhere in the Scriptures.
Social justice is different. This is a state or doctrine of egalitarianism” which is the notion that all social, economic and political “inequalities” must be removed from society. As it is defined by our culture, “social justice” is justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society. THIS iteration of “justice” is NOT commanded in Scripture.
Justice pursues what is right according to an absolute, impartial standard. Social justice pursues what is lacking for certain groups of people based on what is possessed by others.
Justice is driven by what is morally acceptable, or what God says is right. Social justice is driven by what is socially acceptable, or what the people say is right.
Justice is objective. Social justice is subjective. Justice involves matters that can potentially impact anyone. Social justice involves matters that are believed to only impact specific groups.
Social justice doesn’t resemble biblical justice at all. Actually, it is injustice, and believers must oppose it.
