How does the cross reveal God's nature?

Answered in 1 source

The cross reveals God as both just and loving, showcasing His justice in punishing sin and His love in saving sinners.

At the cross, the nature of God is revealed in profound ways. First, it exemplifies His justice—God will not clear the guilty (Exodus 34:7). Through Christ's sacrificial death, we see that God's righteous requirement was fulfilled as He poured out His wrath not on us, but on His beloved Son. Simultaneously, the cross embodies His boundless love; as articulated in John 3:16, God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son. Both attributes coexist, manifesting together at Calvary. The cross is where justice and mercy meet, reminding us that while God is holy and just, He is also rich in mercy and grace toward those He has chosen.
