The scriptural vision of society should remain an ideal to strive for, even though it is not likely to be achieved. In Christ's vision of a just world, every one is equal; there is no class system or racial barriers but instead a unified community of the people in the world under God. God wants a good life for all his people. In God's just world the only events that cause pain and suffering are illness, death and natural disasters, not the unnecessary pain and suffering caused by the choices people make or the social structures in our society. .
In the first chapter of the Book of Genesis God creates the world and after every step of creation scripture reads, "And God saw that it was good." We believe that God chose to create everything in order to share his goodness and that there is goodness in all of creation. It also says in the Book of Genesis that "God created humankind in his image" (1:27). So we are the only creatures on Earth that are called to share in God's own life. Humans are gifted with the ability to respond to God with faith and love by loving all that is created. The Church teaches that everyone has dignity and worth that comes to him or her from God. Catholic teaching goes so far as to say the human life is sacred. Individuals can never lose this dignity and worth. Even if we don't recognize the sacredness in every person we meet, God does. If someone believes in scripture then they aren't the people who decide to help others crying out for justice because they are nice, but because they recognize that every human life is sacred.
In God's just world every person would have what they due as God's children. The definition of God's justice is: what all people are due as children of God made in his image. Justice is a process (the work of justice) and a goal (a just world). The definition states that everyone has a right to justice. It doesn't however specify what exactly everyone is due.
