How does Christ's crucifixion reveal God's character?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's crucifixion reveals both God's righteous judgment on sin and His profound mercy toward sinners.

The crucifixion of Christ reveals the multifaceted character of God, as it embodies both His justice and His mercy. In Christ crucified, we see God's holy anger against sin that necessitated atonement, fulfilling the requirement for sin's penalty. At the same time, through this sacrificial act, God's rich mercy is displayed as He provides a means for sinners to be reconciled to Him. As noted in the sermon, the balance of God's punishment for sin and grace granted to the guilty sinner is perfectly illustrated at the cross, making it a pivotal moment in the narrative of salvation and a window into the nature of God.
