Jesus’ death provides justice by establishing a kingdom of justice.
This kingdom is not the “church”, which is the institutions of the church established over centuries. Rather, Jesus’ kingdom of justice is made up of those who act in accord with His atonement—people taking up their cross, sacrificing themselves to display the injustice of humanity and to do good for one’s fellow human. Those who surrender themselves for the sake of the poor, and will stand up for God while allowing themselves to be destroyed for it.
This is not a matter of works, or our own effort, but the work of God within us, that we agree with and abide by.
