How can God justify sinners and remain just?

The dilemma of how a just God can justify sinners is thoroughly addressed through the gospel. As discussed in the sermon, Romans 3:26 proclaims that God is both just and the justifier of those who have faith in Jesus. This principle is central to sovereign grace, wherein God does not overlook sin but addresses it through the redemptive work of Christ on the cross. The suffering and sacrifice of Jesus satisfy God's justice, allowing Him to justify those who believe. This profound truth not only illustrates God’s character but also affirms the depth of His love for His chosen ones, underpinning the doctrine of justification by faith.
