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

Answered in 19 sources

God's judgment is just because it is executed according to His righteousness and is always accompanied by mercy for His chosen people, as seen in the story of Noah.

The justice of God’s judgment is a fundamental aspect of sovereign grace theology. In Genesis 7:4, when God declares His intent to send the flood as judgment on mankind, it underscores His role as the righteous judge who executes judgment on sin. Despite this, God's justice is perfectly balanced with mercy, as demonstrated through the preservation of Noah and his family. Noah, a sinner who found grace in the eyes of the Lord, exemplifies how God chooses to show mercy to some, even as He justly brings judgment upon the rest. This dual aspect reflects God's holy nature; He cannot overlook sin, yet through Christ's sacrificial work, He provides a means for redemption and salvation, confirming the just nature of His judgments across scripture.
