How do we know God's justice is central to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's justice is essential because it ensures that He can satisfy the requirements for salvation while being just.

God's justice underpins the entirety of salvation. Paul emphasizes this in Romans 3:26, where he states that God is just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. This means God's justice does not overlook sin but addresses it fully through Christ's atonement. Since God is immutable and impartial, He cannot simply clear the guilty; thus, the atonement of Christ satisfies God's justice, allowing Him to justify those who are ungodly. This foundational understanding helps us appreciate how salvation operates within the framework of God's unchanging nature, thus ensuring that grace and divine justice coexist perfectly in the gospel.
