Col.3:25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.

All of us as humans are concern when people getting away with evil, and/or a wrong, because we are created with a real sense of fairness and justice, but here the apostle Paul states something perhaps we have not given much thought to? Which is, God justice is not partial!

Matthew 22:16 They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter who you teach, for you aren't partial to anyone.

No one including us will get away with any wrong we have done? Those eager for righting the wrong must know every wrong God must right because he is not partial like us humans, what are we to think - when even a wicked thought is evil to God? How can we say: “I am pure in my thoughts before the King?”

Levitius 19:15 "'You shall do no injustice in judgment: you shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.

Proverbs 20:9 Who can say, "I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?"

Here than is why Christ told the Pharisee: “He that loved little forgive little!” Does God love little? No! But often we do. We want justice, and fairness, and can get into a real state of anger and discontentment when there is so much lawlessness about us that we lose our peace. The Pharisee spoken of above, where a woman, a known prostitute deserving of death by the law was skating, she was not being held accountable! Moreover, when not rebuked by Christ for touching him he becamed enraged!

James1:19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; 1:20 for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God.

Christ seemingly condone her evil conduct by allowing her to wash his feet? The Pharisee who was “clean” by the law, before others, was incensed! Here in chapter three of Colossians Paul under Holy Spirit had just spoken of the freedom of those in Christ. Their lives were loved much by God, simply because the gift of undeserved kindness had been given them freely, had they skated from God's judgment?

Romans 5:15 But the free gift isn't like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

That is the key question each of us faces, the point Christ made with the woman washing his feet to the Pharisee, and also in his parable of the rich man forgiving the massive debt of his slave than the same slave chocks his own slave for a little debt? What is the point if we love little we forgive little. In other words, if we don't gain love for what God has given us freely, and than demand justice be served upon others by uses of laws found in our bibles; we must remember God is not partial.

1 Peter 2:16 as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The judgment deserved of our flesh is dead in Christ, we must truly comprehended what that means? Nothing in this worlds judgment by our flesh can really understand. Our deserved judgment has been set aside by the rich-man because we begged him to love us, instead of being judged by the justice of his law. It is love that covers a multitude of sins, it is God's own love that has set us free from deserved judgment, can we not suffer some when others do an injustice too us? Can we not pray for them, hoping good will come to them from God's love as it has come into our lives?

Matt.5:46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? 5:47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

If we see we have been forgiven much than we will love other much this is the lesson and hope God has for his children to become vessels of mercy. Justice will not lag, it will not be let go by such a perfect God who is fair and justice in all his ways, let us pray it will come with the kindness and mercy shown to us?

Matt.5:44 But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, 5:45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

Matt.18:22 Jesus said to him, "I don't tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven. 18:23 Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants. 18:24 When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.{Ten thousand talents represents an extremely large sum of money, equivalent to about 60,000,000 denarii, where one denarius was typical of one day's wages for agricultural labor.} 18:25 But because he couldn't pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 18:26 The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!' 18:27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
18:28 "But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii,{100 denarii was about one sixtieth of a talent.} and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!' 18:29 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you!' 18:30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
18:31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done. 18:32 Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
18:33 Shouldn't you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?' 18:34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him. 18:35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don't each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds."
