While this may sound great on the surface and while much of what Maxwell and Jennings say have some validity to things, an overly reductionistic approach ultimately deprives justice of the legal/rights dimension. So much so that they inadvertently call the Bible into question when judgment comes into play. This is because judgement-focused passages in scripture undergo forced reinterpretation to fit the reduced framework. From a systematic theology perspective, this can do harm to a traditional understanding of the Sanctuary message, along with all other instances of judgment in the Old and New Testaments.

It is totally true that salvation is entirely through Christ and trusting in Him. As we behold Him and His love, we change. I.e. 2 Cor. 5:14; 3:18; Eph. 2:8-9; Jn. 3:16; etc.
​
It is also true that God is working through a legal process in the Great Controversy. I.e. 2 Cor. 5:8-10; Rom. 14:10, 2:6ff; 12:16-19 (cf. Heb. 10:30); Acts 23:2-3; Luke 12:45-48; Matt. 7:1-2; 12:36-42; 16:27; Rev. 22:12; Etc.

Dr. John Peckham at Andrews Theological Seminary has an absolutely superb book related to this topic, entitled Theodicy of Love. The first couple chapters are a bit slow, but the rest of it is incredible, and probably the best explanation we have in Adventism for the Great Controversy and suffering from the perspective of love. His earlier book, The Love of God is also one of the deepest explanations of God's love that I've read. I've taken every course I could from him at AU.
