How do we know God's reprobation is just?

Answered in 1 source

God's reprobation is just because it results from sinners' own guilty choices and rejection of His truth.

The justice of reprobation is affirmed in Scripture as it directly correlates with a sinner's own actions – rejecting God’s call and choosing paths of unrighteousness. As indicated in Isaiah 65:11-12, God’s declaration comes with five charges against those who forsook Him. Each charge emphasizes that the reprobate did not respond to divine communication; instead, they chose actions that were abhorrent to God. The concept of justice is crucial here; because God is holy and just, His decision to harden hearts and designate individuals for reprobation aligns entirely with their persistent rebellion against Him. Thus, God's reprobation can never be considered arbitrary but the deserved outcome of sinful rejection of God's grace, as further supported by the New Testament.
