mercy, grace, and justice

 hi everyone I have been thinking about justice since I hear it referenced so much in certain contexts, sometimes rightfully and sometimes in offensively wrong fake agenda definitions. But anyway I thought of a way of looking at it that I think would help people who think about it in Christian ways, and that is to think of it as part of a concept trio that includes mercy, grace, and justice. People often describe mercy and grace together and differentiate between the two, or they contrast mercy and justice. But I have idea which is that it might fit better with consistent faith if people think of three types of blessings: justice, where you get what you deserve, mercy, where you get spared what you deserve, and grace, where you get something even though you don’t deserve it. So it is like an idea framework for understanding rightful and life-giving wages. Another concept that would be separate or maybe primary to those things, or motivational behind them could be righteousness or love. That is just a theological way of framing it because I think the concepts have been separated in some understandings and those problems have played out in our society. Some people try to promote some kind of justice without a concept of the mercy and grace that is needed as well, and other people only feel responsible for offering mercy and grace, so they ignore other responsibilities and then try to fake the charity. it is a problem either way and I know some justice people don’t think so but there is a lot of destruction happening in the name of justice where people are pretending they haven’t partaken of some extreme patience and mercy. So anyway, it feels too late for anyone to figure this out but I think it could still help people instead of being viewed as an either/or thing or as pairs that are missing a third concept.
