Lesson:
According to Christian belief, the Heavenly Father’s feelings about human rights violations are rooted in his attributes of justice, love, and righteousness. Our Heavenly Father is a God of justice: The Bible emphasizes Our Heavenly Father’s justice, asserting that he will ultimately right every wrong. Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! The Heavenly Father also demands fairness and equality: Biblical justice requires treating every person with the same standards and respect, regardless of their social standing or background. This includes protecting the rights of the vulnerable and oppressed, an example of a group that is very vulnerable is people with disabilities. Our Heavenly Father is impartial: He does not show favoritism. He judges righteously and defends the rights of those who are poor and needy. Call to action: Christians are called to actively respond when human rights are abused and denied. Advocacy for the oppressed: This includes speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves, defending the rights of the poor and needy, and seeking to address social injustices.Working for restoration and reconciliation: Responding to violations involves working towards repairing broken relationships and mending the world.
Closing prayer:
Keep us Father from trying to take matters into our own hands for vengeance is your and You will repay – but Lord in your grace and mercy we pray that you would give justice and peace to all those that have been cruelly and unfairly treated by their fellow man and may injustice and carelessness that they have had to endure. In the name of
Our lord and savior we pray.
Our lord and savior we pray. Please forgive me of my sins against you, please come into my heart. By the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for Saving me.
