Some may try to object to or evade the justice of God by claiming that God is unjust, hoping that God will not be able to bring everyone to justice, or appealing to his mercy in hopes that he will compromise on justice. However God's just requirements for humanity are still just even though, since the fall, all humanity has been unable to meet and keep these just requirements. God made us completely able to keep his just commands, and it is only by the fault of Adam and Eve that we are no longer able to keep them. God also is fully able to bring all those who disobey him to justice. Many sinners suffer the wrath of God in this life but all will suffer the full wrath of God on the day of the LORD. God is merciful but his mercy will not conflict with his justice. This means that his justice needs to be satisfied. The good news of the gospel is not that God has overlooked all the sin of those who believe in Jesus Christ but that God's just requirement of righteousness and just wrath against their sin has been satisfied in Jesus' life of obedience and sacrificial death on the cross.
