In this episode, Jim Putman, Gabe Cleave and Blake Whiteman jump into our new series Lost in Translation. In this series, they delve into ancient biblical words, examining how their meanings have been altered by modern culture, the enemy, or even our own personal inclinations. The power and significance of these words diminish when their meanings are distorted, and this series aims to reclaim their true essence as intended by God. This week, we’re tackling one of the most profound and challenging concepts: justice. Some of the things covered in this episode are:
- Discussion of how modern interpretations can change the original meaning of these words.
- The importance of maintaining the intended meaning of words as given in Scripture.
- Exploring the Hebrew and Greek origins of the word “justice” and its connection to righteousness.
- The role of justice in God’s creation and how humanity’s choices lead to injustice.
- Examination of God’s justice versus cultural justice and the implications for Christians.
As we continue through this series, it’s crucial to remember that our understanding of justice must be grounded in the unchanging character of God, who is both just and merciful. In a world where the concept of justice is often distorted, we are called to uphold God’s standards, not just in theory but in practice, both within the church and in our interactions with the world.
