How do we know that God is both righteous and loving?

Answered in 1 source

God's righteousness and love are ultimately manifested in the sacrifice of Jesus, who embodies both justice and mercy.

The interplay of God's righteousness and love is explicitly demonstrated at the cross. As the Righteous Father, God does not overlook sin; instead, He punishes it justly. Jesus, bearing the sins of His people, fulfills God's justice while simultaneously revealing His immense love for them. This unique balance assures us that God's love does not compromise His holiness, and thus believers can trust in a God who is both perfectly righteous and exceedingly loving.
