Jesus calls us to bring justice to the darkness. You can't bring justice if you're feeling guilty about not bringing justice. Why? Because that guilt becomes a motivator to do good, and this motivator modifies your heart, but as humans, eventually we become numb to this emotion, and it slowly fades away. The gospel is about the transformation of your being, not the modification of your heart. The gospel frees us entirely from condemnation, and guilt is a sinful weapon often used against us to lead us away from God. We're to bring about justice to the world because we've got the gospel woven into our hearts, with the belief that every person created was created by God, in His image, and is loved more than we can imagine by Him. When the gospel truly gets a hold of your heart, you will see the beauty of Jesus in every person you serve.
"Jesus didn't just empathize with the poor, He became poor."
