We must exercise caution in desiring the absence of justice solely to maintain peace. A lack of divine judgment on wickedness would negate the very essence of God's role as a savior. The origin of the world's problems is multifaceted: do they stem from the Devil's influence in every individual's life? Or do they primarily result from poor personal choices? If hell exists as a creation of God, it must serve a necessary purpose as the ultimate destination for certain individuals. Is it fair to blame God for these individuals ending up in hell? If God chose to forgive all humanity, why would He have created hell in the first place? If it is indeed God's fault that these individuals end up in hell, then His guidance is severely misguided. However, if these individuals truly deserve to be there, then God bears a responsibility to pass judgment upon some individuals.
If we remove the concept of salvation from the equation, it becomes apparent that God possesses malevolent intentions when it comes to evaluating certain individuals. What is the rationale behind passing judgment on individuals whose actions merely contribute to a list that will eventually lead to God's judgment? Is God solely focused on observing the violation of His laws? What purpose does it serve for God to establish these laws if they are not connected to fostering and maintaining relationships? It is evident that God formulated these laws not solely for the purpose of showcasing them, but rather to ensure the safeguarding of relationships.
How can God demonstrate His faithfulness, kindness, love, and justice if He merely speaks without taking any action? Isn't the purpose of God proving these qualities to communicate them in a way that is entirely fair and true? However, if God only communicates through words, how does He address the injustices He witnesses? Does He merely make promises, or does He back them up with action? This is why salvation is also referred to as deliverance. In order to prove His faithfulness and kindness, God must act to rescue those He has proven Himself to. Does God only rescue His own from difficult situations or from evil individuals? Furthermore, God's laws serve as the foundation for His relationship with us and how we relate to one another. If God is truly faithful, He must uphold all of His laws or else He would not be faithful in his relationships. He must always be completely just, as there will always be someone who is judged.
