How do we know God's justice allows for pardon?

Answered in 1 source

God's justice allows for pardon because Christ has borne the full punishment for sin on behalf of His people.

God's justice and mercy work in harmony through the redemptive work of Christ. The Bible clearly states that Christ was made sin for us and suffered the punishment we deserved. In Romans 5:21, it teaches that grace reigns through righteousness, which was established by Christ's obedience unto death. Therefore, since Christ has already paid the penalty for sins, God can justly pardon those for whom Christ died, ensuring that His justice is upheld while extending mercy to sinners. This reveals how God can be both just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
