What does God's justice and mercy mean for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's justice and mercy coexist, offering salvation to His elect through Christ's atoning sacrifice.

God's justice and mercy are harmonized in the work of Christ, who paid the penalty for sin while upholding God's holy standard. In Genesis 44, Joseph represents a just overseer who could not ignore wrongdoing, paralleling God's character as a just judge. However, through Christ's atonement, believers receive mercy and forgiveness, showing that God can justly declare sinners righteous while upholding His law (Romans 3:26). This profound reality assures believers of their secure position in Christ, encouraging them to trust in His perfect work.
