7. Why does God forgive some, offering them salvation, while He punishes others and withholds salvation? JTL3 3

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. JTL3 3.7
