The Justice Of God In the Condemnation Of Sinners

Romans 1-3 shows the justice of God in the condemnation of sinners:

1) Pagans are justly condemned because they reject the knowledge of God 
evident in creation (Romans 1)

2) Self-righteous people are justly condemned, because they practice the 
things they condemn others for (Romans 2)

3) All men are justly condemned, because all have sinned and fall short 
of the glory of God (Romans 3).

God's justice and His love go hand in hand. You can't have one without 
the other. If God forgave people on the basis of magnanimity, He would 
cease to be just and would be letting sin go unpunished. At the cross, 
God demonstrated His love and justice at the same time (Romans 3:24-26). 
His love is evident in that He provided an atonement for our sins 
through His only Son (John 3:16). His justice is evident in that 
Christ's death on the cross meets God's righteous demands against our 
sin. God raised Him from the dead, showing He accepted the payment for 
our sins. Rely on Christ's death and resurrection to make you right with 
God. Cease from pagan idolatry and self-righteousness. Turn to Christ 
for salvation.

Christ bore our sins on the cross to clear our debt before God 
(Colossians 2:14), and His resurrection stands as proof of that finished 
work (Romans 1:4). Now, God justly forgives those who believe (Romans 
3:26), granting escape from His impending judgment (1 Thessalonians 
1:10). This mercy is a free gift accessible only through faith (Romans 
6:23). If you believe this truth, call upon the Lord to save you today 
(Romans 10:9-13):
