What we need to learn is that prayer and neighborly love, justification and justice belong together. Justified sinners both acquire Christ's imputed righteousness by faith and are made agents of God's justice by the power of the Spirit. The distinction that we make, for theological reasons, between justification and justice stems from the historical situation at the time of the Reformation and does not exist in the economy of God's Spirit. The Spirit that is at work in justification is the same One who makes us just, setting us free to live justly.
