How do we understand God's justice and mercy?

Answered in 1 source

God exhibits both justice and mercy as He distinguishes between the righteous and the wicked.

In Deuteronomy 7:10, God is shown as a discriminating God who repays those who hate Him, while showing mercy to those who love Him and keep His commandments. This dual aspect of God's nature as both just and merciful is vital for understanding His dealings with humanity. God's justice requires that sin be dealt with appropriately, while His mercy provides grace and forgiveness to those who turn to Him in faith. This distinction emphasizes that God is not indifferent to sin; instead, He calls His people to holiness while offering them the means to achieve it through His grace. Believers can find comfort in knowing that while God is just, His mercy abounds toward those who are in Christ.
