Counterfeit Gospels
(Chicago, Ill.: Moody Publishers, 2011), 82
Justice and mercy meet at the cross
God the Judge has promised to completely wipe out the evil of the world. And yet, He loves us. In His grace, He is the righteous judge and the gracious redeemer. His wrath toward evil is poured out upon His only Son on the cross. Justice and mercy are not at war with one another. They meet at the cross. And we can find both judgment and mercy as good news. We need only recognize our guilt in light of God’s holiness and then bask in forgiveness in light of God’s grace.
