Dove Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I don't think that justice takes a back seat to mercy at all~The Saviour fulfilled justice on our behalf and provided a way back that all of us can do, should we choose to do so. Also, the atonement compliments the need for opposition in our lives by being the sweet in opposition to the bitterness. Adam fell that man might be, and men are that they might have joy~The scriptures have also said that only the truly penitant are saved. To me that means that we are in a continual state of repentance, always acknowledging our lost and fallen state, were it not for the Saviour. What I'm trying to say is that, imo, thank goodness we are all subject to mercy because of the atonement, otherwise, we'd all be goners.
