Q7. Why does God forgive some while punishing others?

Picture: Q7. Why does God forgive some while punishing others? JTLD 42.1

God is unwilling that ANY perish; however, if any of us refuse His offer of mercy through His grace, we must bear the consequence of our own choice. God’s character is a perfect combination of justice and mercy. His love is eternal; nevertheless, God is a consuming fire to sin. We all must choose to be a recipient of God’s mercy or of His judgment. JTLD 42.2
