How do we know God's goodness and severity are true?

Answered in 1 source

God's goodness and severity are evidenced throughout Scripture, demonstrating His justice alongside His mercy.

The dual aspects of God's character, goodness and severity, are emphasized in Romans 11:22, where Paul speaks of God's kindness toward believers and severity toward those who fall away. Biblical narratives, such as the judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah contrasted with Lot's rescue, highlight this balance. God's severity in judgment is tempered by His provision for redemption through Christ, who is the ultimate refuge for sinners, showing that He is both just and merciful.
