God's mercy for you is at the cross of Jesus. God's mercy has the final word over judgment. "Mercy triumphs over judgment" (James 2:13). At the judgment throne of God do you want justice or mercy? If we are without sin, we should demand justice. However, no one is without sin. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Sinners receive mercy at the cross of Jesus.
God's mercy for you triumphs over judgment at the cross. God's judgment was placed upon Jesus at the cross for the believer's sins (2 Corinthians 5:21). In your place, Jesus was judged for your sins. Justice was served, that God could be both just and merciful to sinners.
Justice was fully paid for our sins at the cross of Jesus. God is both just and merciful to sinners like you and me. In Christ crucified, God's mercy triumphs over judgment, "that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus" (Romans 3:26).
God's mercy for you is at the cross of Jesus. His justice bends to no one. His justice must prevail in all things. Mercy triumphs over judgment only at the cross of Jesus. For believers in the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, mercy triumphs over judgment. That's the gospel of Christ. Mercy triumphs over judgment in Christ crucified and risen from the dead. God's mercy is for sinners at the cross of Jesus.
