A viewer named Stephen poses a hard question: if a repentant abortionist can be saved on his deathbed and never "pay" for his crimes, doesn't that make God's promise of vengeance and justice a lie? Dr. William Lane Craig responds that the listener has confused justice with grace — the gospel was never about earning salvation through works, but about a mercy that saves sinners who turn to God in genuine repentance and faith. Craig explains how penal substitutionary atonement satisfies both God's justice and His mercy without compromise, argues that "Vengeance is Mine" is being read out of context, and challenges Stephen to examine why grace toward a repentant sinner feels unjust rather than something to rejoice in.
