What does the Bible say about God's justice and mercy?

The Scriptures express the dual nature of God as both just and merciful, demonstrated in the civil laws given in Exodus 21-23. These laws reveal God's holiness, justice, and character while simultaneously exposing human depravity. God's justice is unwavering; it shows fairness and equity, where no person is above another in His eyes, fulfilling justice without favoritism. Conversely, His mercy is highlighted in the provision of grace for sinners through the Passover Lamb, illustrating the incredible love He has for His people. Through these laws, we see a God who cares about justice down to the smallest detail and, in His mercy, provides a way for sinners to be declared righteous through faith in Christ.
