- Reconciling Love and Justice: Wanting an enemy to be punished can coexist with love if the intention behind the desire for punishment is rooted in a concern for justice, the protection of others, and the hope for the offender's reform . It is not about seeking revenge or inflicting harm out of hatred .
- The Example of Christ: Jesus, while loving all people, including those who persecuted him, did not excuse sin or injustice . He calls for conversion and acknowledges the consequences of actions .
- Forgiveness and Justice: Forgiveness does not necessarily negate the need for justice . Forgiveness is primarily about releasing oneself from resentment and bitterness, while justice addresses the objective wrong that was committed
