Forgiveness and guilt
Justice
The pursuit of giving each person what they deserve, with fairness.
What the Bible can tell you
He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does the LORD require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8
To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
Proverbs 21:3
Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Defend the fatherless. Plead for the widow."
Isaiah 1:17
A human reading
Seeking justice is legitimate, but it can turn into hardness if we forget mercy. Acting with justice and compassion at the same time is a difficult and valuable balance.
