How then can God be both merciful *and* just?
Consider a man who stands before a judge after having committed a crime.
That man's crime is not made directly against that judge personally, but against the laws of their country and society.
If the judge forgives the man and pardons him, then retribution and justice have been ignored for the sake of mercy.
However, when a man sins, he has committed crime against God directly and personally.
This is because he has broken the Law of God, which is itself an extension of God's Will.
To break God's Law is to directly transgress against the very essence of the Personhood of God Himself.
Fortunately for us, since we have transgressed directly against God, He has the Authority and Right to forgive us.
Then for Him, for Retribution to take place, *He willingly suffered* the penalties due to us for our sins for the express purpose that Justice could be done for the allowance of His Mercy through forgiveness, so that He may be further Glorified by His Love for us.
But, if a person decides to reject that payment of Justice and Mercy, when they stand before the Judgement Seat of God, Divine Retribution must fall upon that person's head for their transgressions, that God's Justice may be satisfied.

God has perfect will and we do not.
To sin is to transgress against God's will.
Because we do not have perfect will, sin is inevitable.
Jesus Christ is the solution to this dilemma.
Being God Himself, He has the right to both forgive us and to suffer in our place to satisfy His own justice that we can be reconciled with Him.
However, those who reject Him must be met with divine retribution for their sin.
