What does it mean that God is a just judge?

Answered in 1 source

God, as the just judge, is both holy and merciful, able to declare us not guilty through Christ.

In the context of Luke 18, God is portrayed as the just judge who is fundamentally different from the unjust judge in the parable. While the unjust judge did not care for justice or mercy, God is characterized by His holiness and love for His people. He upholds justice while also providing grace through Jesus Christ, who fulfills the requirements of a just legal system. This means that believers can approach God knowing that their needs are addressed based on Christ's righteous work, allowing God to declare us not guilty, to vindicate us, and to redeem us in a way that is perfectly just.
