The Importance Of Justice In Relations To Mercy

The mercy of God can only be understood in the context of the justice of God. The cry 'it's not fair' or 'it's not right' is based upon some standard of right and wrong as well as the desire for justice to be upheld on behalf of the one who is speaking. In other words, justice is a crucial starting point for many aspects of life both now and forever. Through our breif study in the book of Nahum, we will consider What God did to the Assyrians over 100 years after He had shown mercy to them through the ministry of Jonah.
