JUSTICE

It is a common view that "justice" is tantamount to administration of punishment to those who deserve such punishment.
As George MacDonald (1824-1905) pointed out, if that were the case, we would expect Psalm 62:12 to read like this:
To You, O Lord, belongs justice; For You render to each one according to his work.
But it doesn't. Instead it reads like this:
To You, O Lord, belongs mercy; For You render to each one according to his work.
I invite you to read George MacDonald's essay on the real meaning of "justice."
