Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Tozer defines justice as the equity of God — His treating all things rightly according to their true nature and moral reality. How does this make God's justice an expression of His goodness rather than its opposite?
2.He argues that a God without justice would not actually be good — He would be morally indifferent. Why does genuine love require justice? What would a universe of pure mercy with no justice look like?
3.Tozer writes that God's justice means He will eventually make right everything that is wrong. How does that conviction shape your response to injustice in the world — to corruption, oppression, violence that seems to go unpunished?
