How do we know that God is just and merciful?

Answered in 3 sources

God's justice and mercy coexist perfectly because He has satisfied justice through Christ's substitutionary death while still offering forgiveness.

The attributes of justice and mercy in God are beautifully intertwined. The justice of God demands that sin be dealt with; yet, in His mercy, He provides a means of forgiveness. This is accomplished through the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ, who bore our sins and satisfied the wrath of God on our behalf. As stated in Micah 7:18-19, the Lord pardons our iniquities, demonstrating His mercy without compromising His justice. Through Christ, we find that justice has been fulfilled, and mercy is available to all His chosen people.
