    • God as Just: Beliefs and Teachings • With unlimited power and authority, together with total love, God is believed to be the perfect giver of justice. To be just is to be fair and so all are equal. This not only includes deciding on right and wrong but being the judge of human character. • As the ultimate source of justice, God will never support injustice, ill-treatment, prejudice or oppression. Therefore Christians should do all they can to prevent these wrongs wherever they encounter them. e.g the parable of the sheep and goat
