How can God be just and still forgive our sins?

Answered in 1 source

God is just in forgiving our sins because Christ took our place, satisfying divine justice through His sacrifice (Romans 3:26).

The dilemma of how God can be both just and forgiving is resolved in the work of Christ. Romans 3:26 explains that God demonstrates His justice and righteousness by providing a way for sins to be forgiven without compromising His holiness. Jesus Christ, being sinless, took upon Himself the sins of believers and endured the penalty we deserved. His sacrificial death fully satisfied divine justice, allowing God to forgive sinners while maintaining His righteousness. Thus, God can justly forgive all who come to Him in faith, as all sins have been atoned for by Christ.
