Is God not also merciful? In this devotion, Pastor Jason Van Bemmel explores Question #11 of the Heidelberg Catechism, addressing the vital balance between God’s mercy and His justice. While many attempt to pit God's attributes against one another, Pastor Jason explains that God's mercy must be a "just mercy" because sin against His high majesty requires a just punishment.
Key Highlights:
The Character of God: Understanding that God is perfectly merciful and perfectly just at the same time.
The Reality of Justice: Why sin against an eternal God carries an eternal weight.
The Necessity of the Cross: How Jesus Christ reconciles God’s justice and mercy for those who believe.
Scripture Focus: Reflections on Exodus 20, Hebrews 10, and Matthew 25.
