What does the Bible say about God's judgment and mercy?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible illustrates God's judgment through plagues in Egypt, demonstrating His power and mercy toward His people.
Scripture shows that God's judgment can be severe, as seen in the plagues He brought upon Egypt. The final plague, which resulted in the death of the firstborn, exemplifies God’s severity towards sin. At the same time, this narrative highlights God's mercy towards the Israelites, redeeming them from slavery and providing a means of salvation through the Passover lamb. This duality of God’s judgment and mercy is further emphasized in Romans 11:22, where Paul speaks of the goodness and severity of God, reminding us that these attributes are necessary to understand His full character.
