What does the Bible say about God's justice and grace?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that God is both just and a Saviour, requiring justice to be satisfied before grace is extended.
The Bible emphasizes the dual nature of God's character as both just and gracious. God does not overlook sin or ignore justice; instead, He satisfies His justice through the atonement of Christ. In Romans 3:25-26, it is evident that God presented Christ as a sacrifice to demonstrate His righteousness, since in His forbearance He had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished. This affirms that God's grace is not at odds with His justice but is grounded in it, showcasing the depth of His mercy and the completeness of Christ's work on the Cross.
