How can God justify sinners without violating His justice?

Answered in 1 source

God justifies sinners through the sacrificial death of Christ, satisfying His justice while granting grace.

The ability of God to justify sinners without contradicting His justice is explained in Romans 3:24-26. God justifies individuals freely by His grace through the redemption that is found in Christ Jesus, who acts as the propitiation for sins. This means that Christ's sacrifice satisfies the demands of divine justice, allowing God to remain righteous while forgiving those who believe. The mystery of justification lies in the perfect alignment of God’s justice and mercy, realizing that God's attributes do not conflict, but rather function together in the act of redemption. This profound truth encourages believers that their standing before God is secured not by their works but by faith in Christ's completed work.
