We know he is just because he gives us a chance for eternal happiness even when we donot desirve it. He is merciful even when ppl kill his followers and is pateint until the day of death for salvation. He punishes evil just as you would punish a bad child by separation from joy. A child sent to their room to think about their evil doings is synonymous with hell.
But how do you know any of that?

I know he's just (and yes, loving) because I believe his son Jesus Christ who demonstrated this to us through his life and death. I believe the witnesses who wrote the gospels and the apostles who walked with him and went on to be persecuted and killed because of their faith in him. Do you believe any historians who wrote about ancient events? They're all biased you know, we all are. And finally, yes, I believe because of the work he's done in my life. No, I can't prove it scientifically, just as you can't prove scientifically that life evolved from inanimate material. But I believe it for good reasons.
Like what?
