Justice is a difficult matter for people to understand unless they have perfect knowledge of what is right and what is wrong. Imperfect knowledge cannot produce justice.
Every person who is perceptive enough to realize that he or she never asked to be born but will suffer and then die, and that this is unjust, will realize that there is more to existence than this temporal biological realm that we humans experience daily.
Recognition of the eternal realm requires us to acknowledge that the Eternal One has to exist. Only ignorance or denial would prevent us from seeking the truth about eternity.
Solomon, accredited with possessing much wisdom, is believed to have written about the Eternal One:
- He has made everything beautiful in its time; also he has put eternity into man’s mind, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
- For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.” (Isaiah 57:15)
- The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all men life and breath and everything. And he made from one every nation of men to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their habitation, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after him and find him. Yet he is not far from each one of us, for ‘In him we live and move and have our being’. (Acts 17:24-28)
