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

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' death satisfies God's justice by fulfilling the penalty for sin, as the wages of sin is death.

The concept of justice in God’s economy requires that sin must be paid for, and Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross is the ultimate payment for those sins. Romans 6:23 states that 'the wages of sin is death,' and therefore, justice mandated that a sacrifice must be made. Christ, being innocent and righteous, was the only one qualified to bear the penalties of sin for others. His death, as prophesied, provides the necessary atonement and is sufficient to justify sinners before a holy God, as affirmed in Hebrews 10:14, which states that 'by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.'
