Balance God's Love with His Justice

God's administration of justice has evolved, displaying less immediate punishment for sin compared to Old Testament times, while maintaining His holiness and intolerance of sin. This shift has led many to overlook the severity of God's justice, focusing predominantly on His love and grace. The lack of sermons addressing the wrath of God has contributed to a cultural perception that allows for a more lenient view of sin. Consequently, individuals may create their own understanding of God, often neglecting the balance between His love and His justice. The church's historical emphasis on God's love, at the expense of acknowledging His justice and wrath, has fostered a mindset that minimizes the seriousness of sin and undermines the true nature of God. To return to a biblical view of God, it is essential to address both His love and justice, creating a more complete understanding of His character.
