79. We are all used to calling it social justice. Yes, it's that, but it's more. It's biblical justice.

The Bible calls for it over and over again.

"What does the Lord require of you? To seek justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God."
(Micah 6:8)

“When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God”
(Leviticus 19:33-34)
