How can Jesus Christ’s sacrifice satisfy both mercy and the demands of justice?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Only an omniscient, all-loving God could have both roles of advocate (pleading for the petitioner) and judge (deciding the ultimate fate of the petitioner). This is because He possesses a perfect balance of the qualities of justice and mercy and all other divine attributes that make Him perfect, or complete, in all the Godly virtues” (Maxwell, One More Strain of Praise, 33–34).
