What does the Bible say about God's justice and mercy in the context of atonement?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's justice is satisfied through atonement, allowing for His mercy to be extended to sinners.

The interplay of justice and mercy is a vital theme in the doctrine of atonement. As asserted in Romans 3:25-26, God demonstrates His righteousness by justifying those who have faith in Jesus. Justice requires that sin must be punished, and through Christ's atonement, God's justice is satisfied. This divine act enables God to be merciful while remaining just. The Day of Atonement exemplifies this balance, highlighting that atonement must occur for mercy to be given—a truth consistently underscored throughout Scripture.
