How do we know God's justice is affirmed in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God is both just and the justifier of the ungodly, demonstrating His justice through the sacrifice of Christ.

God’s ability to save while remaining just is a profound mystery in Christian theology. In the sermon, it is emphasized that God found a way to be both just and the justifier of the ungodly through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. The thief on the cross recognized the holiness of God and the justice he deserved. When Christ died for our sins, He took the punishment upon Himself, thereby allowing God to remain just in the process of justifying believers. This duality is central to sovereign grace theology, illustrating that Christ's atoning sacrifice meets the demands of divine justice while offering grace to those who believe.
