I learned that God is love,caring and Kindhearted. But have you ever wondered, how does God feel about what is going on in the world and in our life? The Bible teaches us that God is "a lover of justice". So, he cares deeply about what is right and what is wrong. He hates all kinds of injustice. God felt hurt at his heart when badness filled the world in times past.He hates to see people suffer because He cares for us.

i am a nigerian by birth.
lots of things have happening in the northern side of the country which has resulted to a loss of lives in the last two years no thanks to the terrorist group by the name boko haram.sometimes i wonder if this is not the sign of the end which the Lord Jesus Himself did say and preach about before leaving for home

religion has been the reason why we have been able to share things together but choices made by men has not really made things go smooth.the world goes wrong when we start acting selfishly and that has really not help.

Oh yes, I agree God loves us so much that He is sadden when we experience injustice, more so when we are the one being unjust to our fellow men.
But for every suffering that we experience, we should offer it to God and God will return our sufferings and change it to blessings.
Sometimes these challenges that we face everyday are big blessings in disguise. How we handle it depends on how strong our faith is in Him. And because we know how painful it is to be a victim of injustice, then let us promote being fair to people and not be unjust.

aileen, I totally agree with you that being just and fair should start from us. Promoting fairness for all will lessen the victims of injustices. If other people can't be just enough,then we can be by the grace and love of God.

Some people used God to justified the bad things they do and that's when I ask myself how despicable can a person be . The worst person's are the ones who know right and decide to do the wrong.

A person who knows the right thing to do but never do it, is a person who doesn't learn at all; this is my point of view.. yet there are times that I have to look deeper the other side of this situation and that is why? why some people even if they already know the truth still don't do it? You are right silverfox that it's the worst thing that will happen to the person. That is why it is written in the Bible " better for you not to know the truth than to know it but never do it."

I am not Christian, but Muslim. But I suppose I can still answer your question. God does love us all. But don't you think by taking the wrong steps we actually take advantage of that? This is the problem within us. He gave us a mind which can differentiate between what is right and wrong. Yet we ignore the right for the wrong. Then karma follows. One wrong step welcomes thousands of more wrong steps. Sometimes we even forget that our that single step can ruin an entire population. Many countries are very rich. God gave them ample power. Unfortunately, many among them end up taking that for granted. They misuse it and cause pain in others. Also this world is a test. If we fail it we get punishment and if we pass it we get reward.

Yes i did wonder about that. Our family has suffered such injustice and my brothers have questioned God for that. I stopped wondering though because the more I thought about it, the more I was losing faith in God. Thus, I have decided that whatever His reason was, I just have to leave it all to Him. He has made plans and I don't have the right to change anything nor question His decision.

God is indeed a loving and just God. He's justice is fair. It's never been a plan of God to see His people suffering. But, sometimes we do suffer because of our own doing or sometimes because the there are situations that leads us to feel and experience it. But, what's good thing about God is that He sees our heart and He will pull us up when we are down.

God definitely hates injustice. We may become victims of ill or unfair treatments but God promised to us that there will come a time that those people will pay for their wrong actions and doings. This can be found at Romans 12:19, "Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, "I will take revenge; I will pay them back," says the LORD."
The bible does not encourage us to take revenge and commit sin, but it tells us to leave it all to God. He will make those peope pay for their wrong doings.

Just imagine how broken He was every second cause He love us all but not all were believing him and following Him and most of it rejected Him as God. Imagine that your a father and being rejected as father to your son that would be how broken it was God right now. God love the world but the world rejected Him and ignore.
