The Bible illustrates the relationship between mercy and justice, especially through the actions of Christ as our Surety.
The Bible presents a profound dynamic between mercy and justice, illustrating the need for divine balance. Mercy desires to restore humanity, while justice demands full obedience and the penalty for sin. This relationship is vividly displayed through the work of Christ, who accepted the full terms of justice at Calvary. As our Surety, He took upon Himself the demands of justice, allowing mercy to flow to sinners. Scripture illustrates this beautifully in passages that highlight Christ’s sacrificial role and the resulting redemption of believers.
