Do not call God just, for His justice is not manifest in the
things concerning you. And if David
calls Him just and upright, His Son revealed to us that He is good and
kind. ‘He is good,’ He says, ‘to the
evil and to the impious.’ How can you
call God just when you come across the Scriptural passage on the wage given to
the workers?...How can a man call God just when he comes across the passage on
the prodigal son who wasted his wealth with riotous living, how for the compunction
alone which he showed, the father ran and fell upon his neck and gave him
authority over all his wealth? Where,
then, is God’s justice, for while we are sinners Christ died for us!
