How do we know God's judgment is real?

Answered in 40 sources

God's judgment is evidenced in the consistent pattern of destruction in Scripture, as seen in the falls of Sodom and Gomorrah and Jerusalem, affirming His holiness and justice.

Throughout Scripture, we see a consistent portrayal of God as both holy and just, which necessitates judgment against sin. Historical events such as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the imminent fall of Jerusalem serve as markers of God’s righteous anger towards rebellion against His commands. As highlighted in Mark 13, Jesus warns His followers of coming tribulation, drawing upon the history of God's judgment. It is vital for believers to understand that God’s judgments are not arbitrary but are expressions of His perfect holiness. Romans 1 further affirms this, stating that the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness. Thus, the call to flee from impending judgment is not merely warning but a merciful invitation to seek salvation in Christ.
