How can a loving God judge anyone?
A good judge does not ignore evil. The Bible says God is both just and loving, takes no pleasure in anyone's death, and at the cross took the judgment Himself for all who trust Him.
Justice and love together
We would not call a judge good who let cruelty go unpunished. The cross is where God's justice and love meet: He judges sin and offers forgiveness at His own cost.
25whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance; 26to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, that he might himself be just and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
