Divine sovereignty, justice, righteousness, mercy, kindness, tenderness, compassion, patience, love, jealousy, wrath, vengeance, veracity, asceity, wisdom, knowledge, power are not conflicted or contradictory but rather coordinated and consistent. While each trait is in unity with each other, they are distinct and must not be played against each other. 

John 3:16 says...
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

God is sovereign, but this verse does not say,
"Because God is sovereign, He sent..." 

God hates sin, and is angry with sinning and is vengeful, but this verse does not say,
"Because God is vengeful or angry or because God hates sins and sinners, He sent..." 

God is righteous and just, but this verse does not say,
"Because God is just and righteous, He sent..." 

God's nature is not conflicted or contradictory and His traits are not in opposition to one another; they are complimentary and in coordination with one another. 

God sent His Son to seek and to save the lost (sinners) by dying sacrificially and rising physically from the dead. 

But never forget, and never let anyone confuse you, God provided salvation for the lost world because He loved people while they were in their sins. Jesus was sacrificed because of God's love and mercy, not because of His wrath and hatred of sin. 

As a sacrifice, Jesus satisfied Divine justice and delivers whoever believes, from Divine wrath.

Christ died for the sins of the whole world because of love, mercy, compassion and grace. He did not die because He is wrathful, hateful, vengeful, or sovereign. God has all of those traits, but salvation came because He does not want any to perish, but that all may come to Him through faith and repentance. 

Believe on the Lord and you shall be saved.
