I mean, what's with all this, "I'm a sinner and I deserve to be punished in hell... now, how do I get out of this?"

We're suppose to love justice AND love mercy. That's funny. I guess we're supposed to love justice for other people and mercy for ourselves.

You are absolutely right that we are all sinners and deserve to be punished in hell forever, and that would be justice. But Micah 6:8 says that we are to also love mercy and walk humbly with our God-
so if God loves mercy, and He does because He is not only just but merciful. How is he merciful? HE sent Jesus to earth to pay the price that we could not pay, so that we could be forgiven and saved from sin. The cross is where justice meets mercy. How do you get out of it= you cannot on your own- only through the shed blood of Christ.

yes we should be happy when justice is done, but this covers a big topic.
you get out of this by not judging yourself, if you recognize that you acted the wrong way ask forgiveness and apologize if this is possible to the person you offended or hurt and do it only when you mean it.
God is just, therfore only He can judge, and we were created in his image and we do love justice, but what we have set up as judicial systems in different areas according to each law governing those area is not the same as God's justice system for God looks at the heart of man, and you will be judged on that. Seek knowledge by asking that the truth be shown to you through research and reading of the bible, it is not a book you need to be frightened of, it is mainly a guide to help you through, and understand human nature since the beginning of time, and how much God loves us and wants our happiness, that's all, but that's everything too. peace without love there is no life

Justice was done, Jesus paid the price for the sin of the world. So in Christ we are sinless, our sins were wash away with His pure shed blood.
