Why Gutierrez Believe that the Pursuit of Justice is Inseparable from God's Gratuitous Love
Introduction
Gutierrez believes that the pursuit of justice is inseparable from god's gratuitous love. He believes that realizing justice needs a preferential alternative for the poor. To him, God has a preferential alternative for the poor. Similarly, the church should show dedication to the cause of the poor. The concept that just system should involve preferences appears counter intuitive at first. Also, it appears to challenge the conventional concept of God’s Omni benevolence as well as universal love for all human beings. But, the concept can be backed on the basis that the disadvantaged require extra assistance to attain an equal opportunity in life.it can be proposed that if the circumstance is unjust, then it is possible to take sides. This happens because when injustices occur and nothing is done then one becomes unjust because they are condoning that injustice on the side of the oppressors. Gutierrez takes a stance that God loves all people in equal terms but in unique settings he has a specific concern for the suffering. Looking at this particular circumstance, does God has a preferential option for the poor? I think so. In the Old Testament, God promises to judge human behavior and intercede punish the ones who fail to do as they are required. Job was a righteous and just man but went through suffering. His case was a contradiction as he had not failed in what he was required to do. Thus, this essay presents Gutierrez believe that the pursuit of justice is inseparable from God's gratuitous love.
Justice and Gratuitous Love
From Job’s circumstance, there exist a wager between God and the accuser. Can human beings in the middle of their unjust suffering be capable of continuing to maintain the faith in God and talk about him without anticipating anything in return? Can disinterested faith in God that does not consider fear of punishment or rewards exist? According to Gutierrez, God wins the wager not to damage the interest in the plot but to see Job’s journey from the beginning as a path others may walk (Brown, 1990: 1).
Job was an interesting character to be tested. He was a man of integrity and justice comfortably located. However, could he maintain his integrity if all he owned was taken away? The accuser proposes that his faith relied on the blessings that God had given him and that it he was not actually disinterested. Taking away his blessings would make him a victim of unjust suffering. And would he still talk well about God after his blessings have been taken away?
The accuser is allowed testing this proposal. Job’s possessions, friend and family were taken from him. But he stays faithful. Using divine permission, the testing is raised and Job is additionally afflicted with serious illness. He becomes sickly, poor, an outcast from his society and lonely in a dumpster. But still, Job rejects cursing God, which is a path taken in similar cases like his. His wife tells him to curse God but he maintains his faith in God. Job’s faith remains...
