What does the Bible say about God's mercy and justice?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that God's mercy and justice are satisfied through the sacrifice of Christ, allowing God to be both just and merciful to sinners.
The biblical narrative reveals that mercy and justice cannot coexist in earthly courts but uniquely come together in God's plan of salvation. The justice of God requires that sin be punished, which Christ fully satisfied at the cross. The Father poured out His wrath upon His Son, allowing those who believe to receive mercy instead of judgment. This profound interplay is demonstrated in Romans 3:23-26, where Paul explains that God is the justifier of those who have faith in Jesus, underscoring the harmony of mercy and justice through Christ’s sacrificial death.
