“In the Mosaic code the same principles of social justice were elaborated more fully and completely by the provision for cities of refuge, the responsibility of the family for its unfortunate members and many other requirements. Throughout the Old Testament whenever God spoke of salvation to His people, He at the same time spoke of social justice, calling upon His people to put aside their injustice in denying Him the position of the Sovereign of life. ‘He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?’ (Mic. 6:8). Social justice and redemption have always gone hand in hand, for social justice can be attained only under proper spiritual conditions.” (Page 4)

“The old covenant relationship between God and man has been broken. The result has been greed, lust and selfishness, which have brought God’s condemnation upon man, resulting in man being judicially given up to his own delusions. The consequence is that man, in his natural condition, neither loves God nor his fellow, nor even himself. It means injustice to God whose sovereignty is denied, resulting in injustice to man whose rights are ignored, bringing conflict and warfare. The big problem of our world and culture is this double injustice, the human cures offered being frequently nothing more than an aggravation of the original disease.” (Page 3)

“Social justice, therefore, consists in placing man, as far as possible, in the position of being able, in all that he does, freely to glorify and enjoy God.” (Page 5)
