God's justice is represented in the law and fulfilled in Christ, demonstrating His righteousness and mercy.
God's justice is clearly depicted in the law concerning murder. The requirements set forth establish a standard of righteousness that reflects God's holy nature. The differentiation between types of murderers illustrates His understanding of human intention and frailty. Through the law, we see a picture of Christ, who fulfilled the law perfectly and offers mercy and grace to those who believe.
