Grace, Justice, and Forgiveness: Understanding Divine Mercy
Explore forgiveness through God's justice and mercy, wrestling with eternal consequences and the hope found in His grace.
📖 Introduction
Forgiveness is at the heart of the Christian faith. Yet, many wrestle with the tension between God’s perfect justice and His boundless mercy. If God is truly forgiving, how can Hell be eternal? This study seeks to explore this profound tension with honesty, compassion, and biblical clarity.
Throughout Scripture, we see God's justice demanding righteousness and His holiness confronting sin. But alongside this, His mercy reaches out to a broken humanity, offering forgiveness and new life through Jesus Christ. These two divine attributes are not opposed but intimately woven into the character of God.
Over the next seven days, we will journey through key passages that illuminate forgiveness, divine judgment, and eternal reality. We will consider questions about the nature of Hell, the meaning of mercy, and how believers can live in the assurance of God’s justice and grace. This study encourages sincere reflection and prayerful meditation, inviting you to bring your doubts and hopes before God.
As you engage this plan, pray for open eyes to see God's heart clearly, a humble spirit to receive His truth, and deepened faith in His perfect plan. May you grow in your understanding of forgiveness—not merely as a concept, but as the life-giving power of God’s kingdom.
