A: Righteousness demands Justice. Anything not Perfect as God [YHWH] is - will be judged and damned. It makes perfect sense. 

We are accountable to God. Those who die without Jesus as their Savior, they will be judged and condemned. He knows the million sin crimes of yours and justice will be served and punishment eternal. 

Peoples perception of justice is marred by the fall. They think "based on" their sin nature. So they feel abortion, anger, abuse, assault, rape, idolatry, sin, and other false ways are right or justified. [They are distorted in their thinking since their nature is skewed to do evil now. Sinful since in the womb. They assault God's character 247.  Regardless of a religious status man lives in the fallen state of being, and are all idolators]. God however is truly impartial and just and 100% righteous. He has no sin so he has no agenda like selfish people who only always continually do wrong.

Violating the Law of Righteousness calls for the legal punishment of death & damnation. So for one born in sin, breaking the Law of God 1 time in your lifetime in thought, word or deed damns you. That would be just justice carried out by The Judge. God commands we punish sin just as He does. But He does it impartially.

Fallen Society has laws. Every nation. They were built by God and as man intuitively knows right from wrong [just look at the 10 Commandments] so their conscience convicts them. Scripture tells us this. We cannot get away from it. It is in our design.

Humans were made in the image of God, made perfect but, like Satan, in Eden, chose pride and desired to be a god, wrongly thinking he could become one. There is only one God - YHWH, our Creator. And we were designed to be righteous, as He is.

The Law was given to show how we fall far short of perfection as fallen people who [born through Adam] live in a sin nature not the righteous nature. Sin entered the world and brought death, corruption, suffering etc. And yeti nstead of killing us all, which would be right & just, God [not having to] went to great lengths and cost to restore us to a right relationship with Himself - through Christ.

The Law [of sin and death] only calls out for your death... the Lord Jesus came to defeat the power of death, the justice and wrath of God fell on Him instead of us who turned to Him. God in the OT promised  this Messiah who would make us right with God and forgive our sins... in the NT God fulfilled and completed that promise. Praise God's Grace and Jesus our Redeeming Savior 🥰.

Since we are fallen, ALL are already hellbound, but God in his Grace saves some... those who obey the Gospel.

God is Good, perfect, righteous and Just. He will not clear the guilty of all their sin crimes against Him, but he offered Jesus as the substitutionary sacrifice to take our place. Only a perfect human could pay the price to satisfy the demands of the Law. You are guilty, Jesus legally can pay your fine - sin debt, and your case will be closed before this Just, Righteous, Good, Merciful and Gracious Forgiving God. The patient, compassionate and loving God.

Get to know more of who He is.

Learn from the Bible who Jesus is, and obey the Gospel so you can be freed from the demands of the Law... and receive eternal life as a free gift from this wonderful, "only true & living God". 🤗

May you embrace His Grace and be born again.

Essential beliefs of the Christian

We born again ones do not legalistically keep the Law today. Jesus fulfilled its requirements by keeping it perfectly in our place, and dying too. That Law only calls for death as judgment. We live with the righteousness of Him covering us.
