Justice, Mercy and Faith

Imagem de capa - Justice, Mercy and Faith

This trinity of words expresses the manifestation of the Holy Trinity.

Justice – the manifestation of God the Father;

Mercy – the manifestation of God the Son and

Faith – the manifestation of God the Holy Spirit.

Of course, there is only one God, but because man is a trinity: body, soul and spirit, and he is only one person, we can have a very limited idea of the mystery of the Holy Trinity.

If you focus on the essence of justice, mercy and faith, you will discover the Divine Power that is available to everyone.

Mankind is the only being that carries a sense of justice. When a criminal discovers a traitor, he will immediately make justice with his own hands.

Mercy is also part of the human race, which is why many suffer along with those who suffer in this world.

Faith, though it may not be in the only God, is common to all. Is it possible for someone to live without faith? Which professional, no matter what their area of expertise, does not use faith to practice their profession? In other words, faith is present in all areas of man’s life. It is the assurance that is present in everyone’s life.

We can conclude that justice, mercy and faith are signs of the image and likeness of God that mankind, even though fallen, still carry within themselves.

According to the Lord Jesus, even the scribes and Pharisees somehow showed justice. Though not as much as was needed.

Unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 5.20

The fact is: no one enters the Kingdom of Heaven if his or her behavior is not according to God’s righteousness.

Jesus’ confession as Savior is not enough if justice, mercy and faith are not practiced.
