Grace is, by definition, unfair. - Philip Yancey
Quoted from this website:
Justice is getting exactly what we deserve. (which in our case is death)
Mercy is not getting the bad that we deserve. (again, death)
Grace is getting the good that we do not deserve. (eternal life, NO death)
So how does a just and righteous God reconcile justice with grace and mercy?
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. (Romans 5:10 ESV)
God took upon Himself our punishment for our sins and gave us eternal life.
