A: God is holy, righteous, and just, while the descendants of Adam and Eve are not. Therefore He is a God of judgment, wrath, and vengeance. But these are not His only characteristics. God the Father is clearly shown in both the Old and New Testaments as merciful, long-suffering, gracious, and compassionate. Despite our sin and rebellion, God loved us. The Father loved us enough to send His Son who died for us that our sins could be forgiven. Perhaps the Psalmist said it best when he contemplated the full scope of the character of God: "Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed" (Psalm 85:10).
