How do we know Christ’s death satisfies justice?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death satisfies justice by fully enduring the penalty of sin, thereby upholding God's holiness and righteousness.

The nature of God's justice requires that sin be justly punished, and such punishment was ultimately met in Christ. As stated in the sermon, 'Mercy appears in providing such a Savior. Justice appears in inflicting the punishment due to sin upon Him without abatement.' This demonstrates that while God's heart desires the salvation of sinners, it does not do so at the expense of His justice, which demands satisfaction. Therefore, through His death, Christ fully and completely upholds the justice of God while offering mercy to those who believe.
