Justice is another name for Mercy, and Mercy is another name for Justice

Boyd K. Packer:
“Justice can seem to be so very demanding. But we must learn that when we put everything as
right as we can put it right, it is Justice who invokes the Atonement, orders the adversary off our
property, and posts the notice that his agents will make no more collections from us. Our debt
will have been paid in full by the only perfect pure person who ever lived… Justice is another
name for Mercy, and Mercy is another name for Justice.” (Address given at Young Adults
Church Education System broadcast 7 November 1993; reprinted in Boyd K. Packer, Things of the Soul [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1996], pp. 45-60)
