    "When God judgeth according to mercy, he judgeth according to Truth; his merciful judgment is a just and a righteous judgment; the mercy of God is shown, not in accounting a sinner perfectly righteous, for that righteousness which is imperfect; but in accounting to him that Righteousness, which is not his own, the perfect Righteousness of the Mediator in this judgment of God. Justice and Mercy do both meet; Justice, in that he will not justify a sinner without a perfect Righteousness; Mercy, in that he will accept him for such a Righteousness, which is neither in him, nor performed by him, but by his Surety the Lord Jesus Christ."

    - excerpt from William Eyre, Justification Without Conditions, commenting on Psalms 85:10 Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
