How do we know that judgment and blessing are linked in the Gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Isaiah 25:6 reveals that God's judgment leads to the blessing of His people, linking the two as part of His redemptive plan.

In Isaiah 25:6, the duality of judgment and blessing is highlighted, showing that God’s judgment against sin ultimately paves the way for His blessing upon the faithful. This scripture articulates how God's wrath against wickedness simultaneously results in refuge for the needy and lowly in spirit. The judgment that Christ endured on the cross represents both the destruction of the covering over all people and the restoration of hope and blessing. In this way, the Gospel is revealed as a narrative where God’s righteousness and mercy coexist, leading sinners to a place of blessing in Christ after they have recognized their wretchedness before Him. Hence, the blessings from God come as a result of His judgment upon sin, demonstrating His character as both just and merciful.
