As we close our series on the 6 Tough Questions, we end on the topic of God’s love and justice as it pertains to the reality of Hell. For us, the question that we pose is, “How could a loving God condemn people to Hell?”, but the question for an era gone-by was, “How could a just God spare the wicked?”
Christian philosopher Anselm answered the question this way: God’s character encompasses both love and justice and they are never in conflict with each other. “God is never at cross-purposes with Himself”, writes A.W. Tozer.
God is both the God who establishes absolute justice and also offers comprehensive mercy. The choice of which one it will be rests on our willingness to surrender to Jesus…or not.
