How does grace relate to God's judgment?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace does not negate His judgment but rather works within the framework of His justice.

God’s grace and judgment are both essential attributes of His character. While grace is His unmerited favor, judgment is the consequence of sin. In Exodus 22:18-20, we see God's severe judgments against practices like witchcraft and idolatry, highlighting His holiness. However, amidst this, God shows grace in providing restitution and mercy to those who are weak and needy. The grace offered through Christ transforms the believer’s relationship with judgment; while we rightly deserve judgment for our sins, through Christ's sacrifice, we receive grace and mercy instead of what we rightly earn — which is death (Romans 6:23).
