God's holiness overflows in justice, offering mercy to sinful Man: though evil says a just God can't forgive, He did forgive us, by condemning His own Son, making us righteous through the blood of Christ. God's faithfulness and truth overflow in life, producing peace with God for sinful Man: though evil says that a God of integrity can't restore us, He did make peace between us through His Son, reconciling us to Himself and granting us eternal life on the basis of the blood of Christ. --- ### An overview in picture form
