How do we know God's justice and mercy coexist?

Answered in 6 sources

God's justice and mercy coexist perfectly in the person of Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice satisfies divine justice while offering salvation.

The doctrine of God's justice and mercy is foundational in sovereign grace theology. God is just and cannot overlook sin; therefore, His wrath is rightfully upon sinners. However, He also demonstrates His mercy through the work of Christ, who took on the penalty of sin on behalf of His people. Romans 3:26 encapsulates this dual attribute of God, showcasing how His justice is upheld while providing a means for salvation. Through Christ's sacrifice, the demands of justice are met, allowing God to extend mercy to sinners like us, emphasizing that both attributes are harmoniously fulfilled in the Gospel.
