God’s Power to Save
The “divine love is holy, meaning that God accomplishes God’s purposes over against all opposition,” says D.W. Congdon. So much for Craigian limits on God’s power to save.
In other words, God’s judgment destroys opposition, while God’s mercy and grace build up the new you. (Assuming the purpose of judgment is to correct rather than to destroy or deter, etc.)
