Listen "Is God Too Harsh?"
Episode Synopsis
God's character perfectly balances mercy and justice, a tension humans often struggle to maintain. While we tend to want mercy for ourselves and justice for others, God demonstrates both simultaneously. His mercy spares us through Jesus' substitutionary sacrifice, where He took our punishment upon Himself. Meanwhile, God's justice confronts sin because ignoring wrongdoing would make Him complicit. At the cross, these attributes converge perfectly - justice was satisfied as sin was punished, while mercy was extended as sinners were pardoned. This understanding invites us to receive God's mercy, trust His justice, and extend both to others.
