How can God be just and still show mercy?

Answered in 2 sources

God maintains His justice by punishing sin through Christ, allowing for mercy to be extended to sinners.

This sermon addresses the crucial question of how a holy God can justify sinners without compromising His justice. The answer lies in the atoning work of Christ, who bore the judgment for sin on behalf of His elect. Romans 3:25-26 explains that God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, demonstrating His justice while justifying those who have faith in Jesus. Hence, God is both just in punishing sin and the justifier of those who believe, upholding His righteousness while extending His mercy.
