How do we know God's justice is fulfilled in Christ?
Answered in 1 source
God's justice is fulfilled in Christ as He obeys God's law perfectly and becomes a sacrifice for sin.
The doctrine of Christ's obedience and sacrifice is central to understanding how God fulfills His justice regarding sin. Scripture teaches that God is just and does not clear the guilty (Exodus 34:7). To satisfy His own justice, God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to live a life of perfect obedience, fulfilling the law that all humanity failed to uphold. In this way, the righteousness earned by Christ is imputed to those whom God has chosen, thus allowing for both justice and mercy to meet. This act not only upholds God's holiness but also reflects His grace as He justifies the ungodly through faith in Christ (Romans 4:5).
