God is just, and His justice is evident in Scripture, where He condemns the wicked and justifies the righteous.
God's justice is firmly established in the nature of His character, as indicated throughout Scripture. For instance, in Genesis 18:25, Abraham asks, 'Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?' This rhetorical question affirms that God, as the ultimate judge, always acts in accordance with justice and righteousness. His justice is bound to His holiness; He cannot act unjustly. Not only does God punish the wicked as seen in Proverbs, but He also justifies those who are righteous by grace, fulfilling the law through Christ, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8).
