Today, the moral and ethical boundaries are constantly being pushed, and certain social trends have made it difficult for people to breathe freely. Many virtues that were once cherished have gradually turned into “disadvantages” in our daily lives, work, and social interactions. Even as a Christian or a seeker of universal truth, we are likely to be eroded or influenced by these societal trends. What should we do in this generation?
Psalm 89:14 says, “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you.” This is the answer God has given us. So, if God is righteous and just, why is the world becoming more chaotic? (Social Justice and Christianity)
In 2 Timothy 3:1-5, it is written, “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.” As the end times approach, not only is the societal atmosphere chaotic today, but it will get even worse tomorrow! We can only preserve ourselves through God, through means such as prayer, studying the Bible, or attending Sabbath service. (A faith that is never compromised)
Do not be afraid, for God says in 1 Corinthians 10:13: “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”( Don’t be afraid of the world, but fear God.)
Do not harbor resentment or bitterness, for God says in Romans 12:19: “Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord.”
It’s important to remember that when we drift from our connection with God, we might start prioritizing our own wants over the needs of others. We should always check in with ourselves and stay grounded, especially since the promise of a heavenly kingdom is so close.

When dealing with external pressures in our daily lives, it’s important to approach them in a thoughtful and resilient manner. If we encounter challenges that contradict our faith, there are strategies we can adopt to navigate such situations while staying true to our beliefs.
When we reflect on Christian teachings, we often focus on God’s mercy and love, but we tend to overlook the call to fear Him. However, the entire Bible reminds us to tremble in awe before the Lord because He is righteous.
Even though the Bible doesn’t specifically mention the term “social justice,” in this world full of richness and inequality, Christians are living in an increasingly complex and globalized environment where these issues can’t be ignored.
