How can God be just and justifier?

The question of how God can be just and still justify sinners is a profound theological truth revealed in Scripture. God satisfies His justice through the sacrificial death of Christ, who bore the penalty for our sins. Romans 3:26 explains that God is just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. This duality means that while God's holiness demands justice against sin, His grace provides a way for sinners to be justified through faith in Christ's righteousness. Thus, God’s attributes of justice and mercy coexist harmoniously in the plan of salvation, demonstrating the depths of His love and holiness.
