How can God be just and still forgive sinners?

Answered in 1 source

God's justice is satisfied through Christ's sacrifice, which allows Him to forgive sinners without compromising His holiness.

The reconciliation of God and sinners hinges upon the concept of substitutionary atonement—where Christ, in His perfection, takes on the sins of the elect, allowing God to remain just while justifying those who believe. Romans 3:26 explains that God can declare the ungodly righteous because of Christ’s righteousness imputed to them. This incredible truth illustrates that God's holy nature and justice are preserved through the sacrificial death of Christ, allowing for the forgiveness of sins.
