For this assignment, you will write the introductory paragraph for the essay on Divine Justice. The essay prompt is listed below. Be sure to pay close attention to the requirements for the introduction.
1.) An introduction: In four to seven sentences, you will introduce the topic, provide an interesting ‘hook,’ and present a thesis statement. For example: “The purpose of this paper is to argue that the death of Jesus is a fair/unfair administration of God’s justice because…” (This may be written last after you know what you have argued in the writing process.)
2.) Two (at least) body paragraphs: From the Bible, the lessons, and at least two outside sources, you will:
Describe the nature of God’s justice with references.
Explain how God’s holiness compels him to act towards sin, with references.
Explain how Jesus’ death relates to God’s justice.
3.) A conclusion: in 4-7 sentences, you will make final remarks about your topic and explain how you have confirmed your thesis statement - do you think God’s justice satisfies the human sense that justice should be ‘fair’? Why or why not?
