God's justice and mercy are perfectly displayed in the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, which fulfills the requirement for sin while offering salvation.
The justice of God is manifested in the crucifixion of Christ, where He poured out His wrath against sin on His Son, ensuring that the demands of justice were fully met. Simultaneously, mercy is extended to those for whom Christ died, exemplified by the tearing of the temple veil at His death, which symbolizes the access believers now have to God through Christ. This duality shows how God is both just and merciful, as He does not compromise on His holiness while offering grace to the repentant. As stated in Romans, 'He can be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.'
