How can God be all loving and all just at the same time?

This is a supposed logical problem of the Christian concept of God. So in this blog, I will be addressing it and showing you how there is no logical problem.

Let's look at the cross for example. Both God's love and justice meet here. On one hand, we see the justice of God being fulfilled as God's wrath is poured out upon Christ a man who has the sins of the world on his shoulders. And on the other hand, we see God's love at the cross. Because this is a way for us to obtain salvation through Jesus Christ, the lamb of God, who's blood washes away the sins of the world.

So in order for both of these attributes to be true, they must coexist with each other and not rule each other out. And here at the cross. We see God's love and justice meeting. God's will and standard for justice being served was fulfilled when Christ, a perfect sacrifice met up to His standards and bore the sins of this world. All of this was fulfilled when God's wrath was poured out upon Him.
