Proverbs 17:15 says “The one who acquits the guilty and the one who condemns the innocent –
both of them are an abomination to the Lord.”
God is just and he cares about justice. The person who condemns those who haven’t done anything wrong is an abomination (detestable) to the Lord. Furthermore those who let the guilty go free are just as bad. God is a just God who values Justice.
How then can we find grace with God? God is just and if God is just then we know that we deserve punishment. 2 Corinthians 5:21 gives the answer: “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” God punished Jesus in our place. He became sin for us, he took our place. God is a just God and some one had to be punished, but He made away through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, showing both Justice and grace.
