How do we know God's judgment is fair?

Answered in 3 sources

God's judgment is fair because it is based on His perfect justice and righteousness, rewarding or punishing each according to their deeds.

God's judgment is described in Revelation 18:6-7 as strictly proportional to the evil committed by each individual. For every act of glorifying oneself instead of the Lord, there follows commensurate punishment. This upholds God's integrity as a righteous judge, ensuring that no one can accuse Him of injustice. Moreover, God's judgments are characterized by their thoroughness; He remembers every iniquity of those who die in their sins, as emphasized in verse 5, thus affirming that His memory is perfect and His justice impeccable. In the end, those who are saved can rejoice, as they are spared from receiving what they deserve due to the righteousness of Christ imputed to them.
