How Justice is Effective Against Demons and Evil in General

Justice is a cardinal virtue and a spiritual armor that ensures the will is aligned with righteousness, fairness, and truth. It is the virtue that gives to God and others what is rightfully due to them, ensuring that every action, decision, and judgment is made according to divine law. Demons thrive on injustice, corruption, and deceit, but justice dismantles their influence by upholding truth, integrity, and divine order.

Justice Destroys the Devil's strategy of injustice and corruption

Satan’s kingdom operates on deception, oppression, and lawlessness, leading people to abuse power, deny truth, and act unjustly. Justice prevents this by upholding God’s divine order.

Justice ensures fairness in all dealings – The devil tempts people to be dishonest or take advantage of others, but justice demands righteousness and honesty.
It protects the innocent and defends the oppressed – Demons influence the powerful to exploit the weak, but justice stands as a shield against oppression.
Justice holds people accountable for their actions – Many sins go unchecked because of moral indifference, but justice ensures that good is rewarded and evil is condemned.

Example: The prophet Nathan confronted King David’s sin with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 12:1-14), proving that justice calls even the mighty to accountability.

Justice protects protects against the devil's tactic of deception and relativism

Demons attempt to blur the lines between right and wrong, convincing people that morality is subjective. Justice upholds absolute truth and rejects compromise with sin.

Justice rejects moral relativism – The devil whispers, “Truth is whatever you want it to be,” but justice proclaims that God’s law is unchanging.
It strengthens the conscience to judge rightly – Many people ignore their conscience, but justice aligns moral judgment with divine wisdom.
A just person does not tolerate evil or deception – Where others excuse sin, justice stands firm and calls it what it is.

Example: St. John the Baptist fearlessly confronted King Herod for his unlawful marriage (Mark 6:17-18), choosing justice over personal safety.

Justice strengthens spiritual warfare and Prayer

Demons fear those who fight for justice, because their prayers and actions dismantle evil strongholds and establish God’s kingdom on earth.

Justice ensures prayers are made with a pure heart – Scripture says, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective” (James 5:16).
It empowers spiritual warriors to stand for truth – Many are afraid to speak against evil, but justice gives them boldness.
Demons flee from those who live in righteousness – A just soul is filled with God’s presence, making it dangerous to the forces of darkness.

Example: The prophet Elijah, through his just and righteous prayers, defeated the false prophets of Baal and restored Israel’s faith in God (1 Kings 18:20-40).

Justice prevents sin by promoting order and harmony

Sin flourishes in chaos, dishonesty, and selfishness, but justice restores order by ensuring every person and action is rightly directed toward God’s will.

Justice eliminates selfishness and exploitation – The devil tempts people to act for personal gain, but justice promotes selflessness and fairness.
It removes lawlessness and disorder – Demons thrive in moral anarchy, but justice keeps laws, customs, and social structures aligned with God’s truth.
Justice encourages virtue in daily life – A just person does not seek loopholes in morality but follows the law of God completely.

Example: St. Thomas More refused to betray his conscience, standing for justice against King Henry VIII’s corruption, even at the cost of his life.

Justice protects families, churches and societies from demonic corruption

Satan attacks families and communities by creating division, promoting corruption, and encouraging injustice. Justice safeguards unity, fairness, and moral leadership.

Justice strengthens marriages and families – Many families break apart due to selfishness and unfair treatment, but justice ensures love and respect prevail.
It builds trustworthy leaders and institutions – Many societies crumble because leaders become corrupt, but justice creates accountability and integrity.
Justice restores fairness in communities and nations – When demons influence lawmakers, judges, and rulers, justice calls for moral governance.

Example: The early Christian martyrs, through their commitment to justice, exposed the corruption of Rome and inspired conversions that shaped Western civilization.
