How do we know judgment is part of God's nature?

Answered in 1 source

Judgment is part of God's nature as it complements His holiness and righteousness alongside His mercy.

Scripture reveals that God's judgment is a crucial aspect of His character. In Matthew 21, Jesus demonstrates His authority by driving out the moneychangers from the temple, shedding light on both judgment and mercy. As Isaiah 42:4 states, 'He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth.' This affirms that judgment aligns with God's purpose in addressing evil and sin. Moreover, Jesus' actions remind us that while God displays tremendous love and mercy, He is equally sovereign over justice and judgment. This duality is vital for understanding God's complete nature, compelling believers to seek not just forgiveness, but also to respect His authoritative role in administering justice.
