Is God always "just"?

Injustice is giving someone something worse than they deserve. In Christian theology all humans are conceived into original sin. Since this sin was committed against a being with infinite authority only an infinite punishment would be just. God could justly issue this punishment at the moment of conception, but instead he has given all men a form of common grace. He allows men to live a life that is far better than they really deserve. So I would argue that even if God ordains pain and suffering it is still far less than the person deserves and is not injustice at all, but rather grace which is a form of non-justice.

Objecting to this would be like calling someone unjust for asking you to pay them three dollars when you really owed them 1000. This would be completely irrational. Hope that helps.
