psalm 17
Biblical justice is first and foremost a matter of equity, not equality (Proverbs 2:9). There is a distinction to be made between the two and it is not an insignificant one.
Any concept of equality that is not fundamentally rooted in equity can never be regarded as justice.
Followers of Jesus Christ are to judge with truth in mind, not outcome. That principle is emphasized by Jesus Himself in John 7:24, where He says, “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
King Solomon applied that principle in his dealings with the two women in 1 Kings 3.
His righteous judgment was rendered not on the basis of emotional pleadings or subjective presuppositions, but on objective and impartial truth—even though for one of the two women who entreated him the outcome would be other than what she desired.
Believers in Jesus Christ are to judge with equity and leave any consequences to an omniscient and omnipotent God who alone is sovereign over all outcomes. -Darrel B Harrison; Just Thinking
