What does the Bible say about God's justice?

Answered in 23 sources

God's justice is evident in His sovereignty and righteousness, declaring that each soul is responsible for their own sin, not the sins of others.

In Ezekiel 18, God confronts the notion that He punishes the children for the sins of their fathers, asserting that each soul belongs to Him and that the soul that sins shall die for its own iniquity. This reflects God's justice as He operates in a way that holds each individual accountable for their own actions, emphasizing that His judgments are always just. God's declaration that 'the soul that sinneth, it shall die' signifies individual responsibility and the righteousness of God in administering justice. Through Christ, the fulfillment of the law and the ultimate expression of God's justice is revealed, showcasing God's perfect balance of justice and mercy.
