God's judgment is just because it aligns with His perfect holiness and righteousness, and it is executed in accordance with His perfect will.
We know that God's judgment is just through the witness of Scripture that consistently affirms His holiness and righteousness. In Joshua 7, we see God's judgment upon Achan for his sin, demonstrating that God takes sin seriously and enforces justice in the world. This reinforces the truth that God's judgments reflect His nature, as He is just and cannot overlook sin. The work of Christ on the cross further illustrates God’s justice, as it satisfied the requirements of that justice, allowing for mercy to be extended to sinners. Thus, we trust in God's judgment, not based on our understanding of fairness, but on His perfect nature and the revelation of His Word.
