How do we know Christ's sacrifice satisfied divine justice?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's sacrifice fully satisfied divine justice as He bore our sins, allowing for our redemption.

The satisfaction of divine justice through Christ's sacrifice is rooted in the very nature of God as both just and the justifier. As mentioned in Hebrews 9:22, without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins, indicating that a sacrificial offering was necessary to appease God's justice. Christ's death fulfilled this requirement by taking upon Himself the penalty for our sins. Jonah serves as a type of Christ, showing how his being thrown into the sea calmed the storm, just as Christ's death calmed the wrath of God against sinners. Thus, by faith, we trust that Christ not only appeased divine anger on our behalf but also reconciled us to God, affirming that our standing before Him is based entirely on His grace.
