How do we know God's severity is just?

Answered in 1 source

God's severity is just because it is always the result of human willful unbelief, as shown in Scripture.

Scripture makes it clear that God's severity stems from the willful unbelief of sinners. Romans 11:20 states that individuals were broken off due to their rejection of faith. This aligns with God's righteousness, as He judges people based on their own choices and sins, not arbitrarily. In Ezekiel 18:20, God emphasizes personal accountability, stating that the soul that sins will die, highlighting that judgment is based on one’s own actions rather than inherited guilt. Thus, God's severity is just because it reflects His holy character and righteous judgment against willful sin.
