God's Perfect Justice

Multiple commentators emphasize that the absolute fairness of God's judgment is guaranteed because He is the judge Himself, not a deputy or angel. As Albert Barnes notes, only God possesses the perfect knowledge of every heart and motive, combined with absolute purity, ensuring a judgment so just that the entire universe will see and approve its rightness.
