Social justice demands a focus on society’s problems, a necessary concern that conservative Christians have disregarded for centuries. As Spirit-filled, Bible-believing theologian Kenneth Archer puts it, “Social justice is the Spirit’s cry for the poor and the marginalized, for creation polluted and in decay and for the victimizers and victims. Healing is found in relationship with Christ and his communities and in just societies.”
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus demonstrates love, showing his followers that true love is attending to the needs of others. For instance, Matthew describes Jesus inviting those who are burdened with the hustle and bustle of life to rest in him (Matthew 11:28). Luke depicts Jesus with the sole mission of opening blinded eyes, liberating captives and lifting oppression (Luke 4:18-19). In John, Jesus includes women and overcomes generations of ethnic factions to show that God seeks out who will simply accept his acceptance (John 4).
