God's judgment and justice are not independent of His grace and mercy. Both His mercy and His severity precedes out of His love. Just like parents love and severity serve the best interest of their children. Jesus came to redeem, reconcile and restore relationship with His creation, not to condemn and destroy. He will not leave any forever in their sinful state, even in a hellhole, death and hell will eventually be completely destroyed in the lake of fire, when they have served their purpose. Then God will be "all in all."
