How does God's mercy relate to His righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

God's mercy and righteousness are perfectly balanced in His character, demonstrating His love while upholding justice.

God's mercy and righteousness are intricately linked aspects of His divine nature. In Psalm 36:5-7, the psalmist highlights God's lovingkindness, faithfulness, and righteousness, showing that God is both merciful and just. His mercy does not overlook sin; rather, it provides a means of reconciliation to sinners through Christ. The righteous character of God necessitates justice for sin, yet His mercy allows Him to extend grace through faith in Jesus Christ. This means that while God is just in holding humanity accountable for sin, He also provides an avenue for salvation and forgiveness through the atoning work of His Son, demonstrating His profound love for His people.
