How do we know God is just in punishing sin?

Answered in 2 sources

God's justice is displayed through the rigorous requirements of holiness, demanding the penalty for sin to be paid in full.

The concept of God’s justice is foundational to Christian theology. In His holiness, God must punish sin; this is clear from God's revelation throughout Scripture. The death of Jesus illustrates this, as He bore the curse of sin that belonged to humanity. As highlighted in the sermon, 'God is love and is merciful,' yet His justice must be honored. As Nahum asks, 'Who can stand before His indignation?' The atonement made by Jesus demonstrates that God is just, as He laid the punishment for humanity's sins upon His beloved Son, thus satisfying the demands of justice while offering grace to the sinner (Romans 3:25-26).
