It takes justice for anyone to be a great leader. All great leaders have been men of justice not men of love. This is true in any area where leadership is needed and clearly seen in military leadership and the great military leaders of history do not run around and try to become buddies with their enlisted men. Officers have authority and responsibility and MUST treat their men with justice and they do love their men but they never show that love and only show justice. As soon as you show love to a group they will run over you and they will become emotional wrecks. Love can be a motivation and love of country, of your command or of your family can be motivation but justice is the execution. You are and should be loyal to your men in every possible way and this is the motivation of love and when a man steps out of line then you discipline him until he is half dead so he does not destroy the ability of the unit in anything they must do. Discipline demands JUSTICE. Justice is the execution in life and the greatest lovers in history were people of justice. Great love is based on justice and the motivation is there but the overt action is justice. So is it with God and we must align with and adjust to his justice and at salvation we became related to the Justice of God and in the Christian Way of Life we constantly adjust to the Justice of God by daily intake of Bible Doctrine. This is our relationship with God in Justice and the only time when love becomes an issue with God is when we reach Maturity Adjustment to the Justice of God. This is when WE can have capacity for loving God himself and to reach this point one must have MAXIMUM Metabolized Bible Doctrine in the Stream of Consciousness of the Soul to have the capacity for loving him. Once you have Metabolized Bible Doctrine in the Stream of Consciousness of the Soul then you have capacity for loving God and as 1John 4:19 says we love God because he first loved us, which can be called, “Reciprocal Love for God”. We cannot know what his love is nor come close to understanding it until we reach Maturity Adjustment to the Justice of God and until that time and even thereafter, the issue remains the Justice of God. Our blessings are not based on the Love of God but on the Justice of God as also is our Divine Discipline. God is fair, just and right to give both blessing for the mature believer and Divine Discipline for the believer in reversionism or in some persistent carnality. Spiritual Common Sense tells us that Motivation demands love of the one who issues the orders. God himself issues the orders and the Love for God as pure motivation can only exist where there is maximum Metabolized Bible Doctrine in the Stream of Consciousness of the Soul; therefore, only in the believer who has reached Maturity Adjustment to the Justice of God. You cannot love God unless you know God and you cannot know God without understanding the thinking of God which is found in Bible Doctrine which must be inculcated into the Stream of Consciousness of the Soul.

Treating People with Justice is an issue for all believers since God treated us with justice. Since all believers have related to God through the Justice of God they must become justice conscious. The believer is the human being who has a relationship with God based on justice. The cross was justice and when Jesus was judged on the cross for our sins that was a courtroom judgment. When we express faith alone in The Lord Jesus, The Christ alone, we are relating to God through the Justice of God. While the Love of God is his motivation in all things related to mankind, we do not adjust to God through his motivation but through his overt action the principle of Justice. Our relationship with God in time is based on the Justice of God and our relationship with God in eternity is based on the Justice of God and it is ONLY our Adjustment to the Justice of God which counts between us and God. One would think all believers would become justice conscious but this is not true. When we take an opportunity to malign someone without facts this is not being justice conscious and never should believers spread rumors or gossip. Being conscious of justice we should always relate it to our own life, our salvation and the principles of the Grace of God. Constantly considering these things one would never think for one moment of departing from the principles of justice and all men with integ
