Vulnerable

Justice and The Vulnerable // James 1:27

In Week 5 of our And Justice For All series, we consider God's heart for the orphan, the widow, and the enslaved. We live in a world filled with 153 million orphans and 245 million widows, many of whom live in conditions of poverty, without the common protections and provisions of a family. Such vulnerability puts these orphans and widows at risk of one of the most wicked industries in our world today- human trafficking. When we look to the scriptures we see a God who is Father to the Fatherless; one who executes justice for the orphan and widow and calls his people to do likewise. While the need is overwhelming, the gospel of adoption equips the people of God to act on behalf of the orphan, the widow, and the enslaved.
