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

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' death satisfies God's wrath by bearing the penalty for our sins, ensuring our reconciliation with Him.

The theological foundation for understanding how Jesus' death satisfies God's wrath is rooted in the concept of penal substitution. Jesus, as our representative, took upon Himself the guilt of our sins, which necessitated divine forsakenness. This is articulated throughout Scripture, emphasizing that His anguish and suffering were integral to satisfying divine justice. By experiencing the wages of sin—both spiritual and penal—Jesus made a complete and perfect atonement, as confirmed in His declaration that 'it is finished.' Hence, His death was not in vain; it fulfilled God's requirement for justice while offering grace and mercy to all who believe.
