How do we know God's justice is satisfied through Jesus' death?

The concept of God's justice being satisfied is central to Reformed theology. Romans 3:25-26 explains that God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, to demonstrate His righteousness. By punishing Christ, who knew no sin, God maintained His justice while providing a means for forgiveness to His chosen people. The vicarious atonement demonstrated on the cross reveals both the severity of God's judgment against sin and His gracious provision of salvation through the suffering of His innocent Son. This divine justice assures believers that their sins are truly addressed and dealt with in Christ.
