How do we know God is loving and just?

God reveals Himself as loving and just throughout Scripture, especially in the consummate act of love demonstrated by Jesus Christ. In Jeremiah 9:24, He declares that He exercises lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. This is fully revealed in Christ's atoning work on the cross, where He took upon Himself our sins and satisfied the demands of God's justice. Through Christ's death and resurrection, we witness God's perfect balance of love and justice, culminating in the offer of salvation to sinners.
