We know God will bring justice for sin because His holiness requires it, as stated in Romans 6:23.
God's commitment to justice is intrinsically linked to His holiness. Romans 6:23 provides clear evidence that the wages of sin is death, emphasizing that God's justice demands full punishment for every sin. This foundational truth urges us to understand that redemption necessitated a substitute, which is ultimately fulfilled in Christ's sacrifice.
When God redeemed His people, He did not overlook their sin; rather, He executed justice through His Son, making Him sin for us, as taught in 2 Corinthians 5:21. Through this extraordinary act, God displayed His love and justice simultaneously. Christ bore the penalty for the sins of His people, thereby allowing God to remain just while justifying those who have faith in Him (Romans 3:26). Thus, we can be assured that God's justice has been fully satisfied in Christ and His sacrifice.
