God is Love
Each attribute of God is in perfect union with each and every other attribute that God possesses. There is no conflict and no minimizing one attribute in order for another attribute to exist. Therefore, it is important to understand that the love of God does not exist in conflict with God's righteousness nor His immutable quality of being just. To understand the Gospel is to understand that God demonstrates His love for sinful mankind, not by overlooking their sinfulness nor by disregarding man's sinfulness, but rather He demonstrates His love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. God the Father expressed His love for sinful mankind by giving His son's life as a just payment for our sin to satisfy God's wrath that would otherwise rightly be poured out upon sinners.
