The Daily Blade: Joby Martin & Kyle Thompson #98 - Kyle Thompson // God’s Attributes According to Himself: Just
God reveals seven key attributes of Himself in Exodus 34:6-7, providing a comprehensive self-description that balances divine mercy with perfect justice. We explore the final attribute—God's justice—and how it works together with His compassion, grace, patience, loving-kindness, faithfulness, and forgiveness to form His complete character.
• God's justice requires that sin must be punished
• Biblical examples of God's justice include the Fall, the Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the Egyptian plagues
• God doesn't show mercy by overlooking sin or compromising His justice
• Christ's death on the cross satisfies God's justice while allowing His mercy to flow
• The concept of propitiation means Christ's payment fully satisfies the sin debt we owe
• No amount of good works can pay our sin debt; only Christ's sacrifice is sufficient
• Understanding all of God's attributes gives us a complete picture of His character
