Role of Christian Youth

Many aspects of social justice can be found in the Bible. Jesus partakes in many actions that would fall under social justice. He fed the hungry, stood up for women’s rights and welcomed the outcasts who were hated. Through history, there are very few people that stood up for equality and against oppression.

Social Justice: To me, the term 'Social Justice' means to share the wealth and opportunities. This helps those who are underprivileged and do not get as many opportunities as others in our society.

By sharing wealth around our society, people will be able to afford to care for themselves with food and when they are sick.

The prophet teachings about social injustice come from Amos. Social injustice is the ill treatment to the vulnerable citizens that God calls us to respect and care for. In Leviticus 19: 3-35, God instructs us about respecting our parents, feeding the poor, paying workers on time, upholding justice, not slandering others, respecting the elderly, and honesty in business dealings. Amos preached the coming of judgment against Israel for oppressing their people. The inequality between the rich and the poor were disgraceful to God’s commands.

Perhaps the Lord God Almighty will have mercy
