As a devoted monk, he feared God's justice because he knew his own heart wasn't perfect. But then he discovered something revolutionary in Romans 1:17: God's righteousness isn't just about judging us; it's about making us righteous through faith.This week's sermon from Andrew Youd explores one of the most profound and often misunderstood aspects of God's character—His justice.God's justice isn't against His mercy; it's the foundation for it. And that changes everything.
