How can a just God forgive sins?

Answered in 1 source

A just God forgives sins through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, who bore the penalty for our sins.

A just God can forgive sins by fulfilling His own justice through the sacrifice of Christ. Romans 3:24-25 explains that we are justified freely by God's grace, through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation. This means that Christ, bearing our sins, satisfied God's righteous requirements, allowing Him to forgive sinners without compromising His justice. The cross demonstrates that God takes sin seriously, yet offers grace to the unworthy through faith in Jesus, thereby upholding both His holiness and mercy. This understanding is foundational to grasping the Gospel and the depth of God's love.
