Kline connects that verse to passages in Revelation 12, Psalm 2, and Daniel 7. Next, we talk about the atonement. God’s love and his justice are not in competition. God demonstrates his love toward us in that he satisfies his own justice by sending his Son to bear the punishment we deserve. Finally, we talk about election.
