Salt and Pepper
Justice and righteousness go together like salt and pepper. Both have a seasoning quality that helps the overall taste. After we taste and see that the Lord is good, we’ve experienced His goodness, love, and grace in our lives (Psalm 34:8-10). Justice is the balance for not allowing our liberties in Christ to get out of hand (Galatians 5:13-18). We are saved but not yet perfect. Justice must be satisfied as long as sin is around. Righteousness is being in right standing with God. We have privileges now based on God’s word that are not available for the sinner whose heart (human spirit) is still dead to God. Once we get born again, and become Christians we are God’s children, heaven bound. We must arrest our emotions, wrong intentions, and bad motives to get in line with what God’s word says about us (Romans 12:2). It takes faith to follow Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Righteousness is the believers portion concerning christianity, and justice is the rod and staff of God for His sheep to stay in line for the final destination.

But let justice run down like waters and righteousness as a mighty and ever-flowing stream.
