How can we effectively communicate the balance between God's justice and mercy when sharing the gospel with others? It seems like some people struggle to grasp the concept of both aspects coexisting.

It reminds us that everyone has a role to play, regardless of their position or expertise. Let's embrace the call to be active participants in fulfilling the Great Commission.

Oh for sure. Each believer is gifted and skilled for participation in their niche. I heard a Marine vet say that for every front-line solder there is a supply-chain of about 70 support staff through whom funnels are the necessary items to allow and maintain his presence on the front line. Each of us supporting the rest.

Seems reasonable that we as presenters might want to bring balance to both mercy and justice. Yes. Jesus is the fulcrum of balance between God's justice and wrath and holiness and the other side is mercy and forgiveness and love. There simply must be Christ in the center to bring that balance and harmony and reconciliation. The fact that both sides of the equation exist serves to further emphasize the necessity of Christ. :)

Good thought.
