How do we know that God's judgment is fair?

Answered in 5 sources

God's judgment is fair as it is based on His righteousness and mercy, ensuring that justice is served without exceeding what is deserved.

The fairness of God's judgment is rooted in His holy nature, as evidenced in Deuteronomy 25:2-3, where the punishment is defined in a controlled manner to prevent excessive punishment. God's justice upholds His righteousness while simultaneously reflecting His mercy. For example, the stipulation of a maximum of forty lashes ensures that even the worst of criminals are treated as human beings, not beasts. This structure serves as a deterrent to sin and reflects God's intention to provide just consequences, allowing space for repentance and acknowledgment of guilt, which is crucial in the pursuit of justice.
