Can justice and mercy coexist?

The Hebrew prophet Micah records this message in his writing, chapter 6 verse 8 says, “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” These actions are very important to God. In the previous episode we looked at justice and how to live justly. In this episode we are going to look at mercy and how God can be both just and merciful at the same time. This will allow us to understand how we can love mercy.
God is the source of justice. In God’s view of justice, the goal is repentance by the person. The root of justice is love, not God's holiness. How can mercy be a part of true justice? How can we love mercy?
