How did God demonstrate His justice in the crucifixion of Jesus?
Answered in 1 source
God's justice is displayed in the crucifixion, as He did not spare His own Son but delivered Him up for our salvation (Romans 8:32).
In Romans 8:32, Paul articulates the magnitude of God's love and justice: 'He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?' This indicates that the crucifixion was not merely an accident of history but a deliberate act of divine justice. The 'sword' mentioned in Zechariah 13:7 represents God's judgment, which He executed upon His own Son instead of upon those deserving punishment. In this act, God fulfilled the demands of justice while simultaneously offering grace to sinners, showcasing the profound depths of His love and righteousness.
