How do we know Jesus satisfies God's justice?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus satisfies God's justice through His sacrificial death, as He bore the wrath due to believers.

The understanding that Jesus satisfies God's justice is deeply rooted in the theology of substitutionary atonement. As the Lamb of God, Jesus took upon Himself the sins of His people, fulfilling the requirements of the law and enduring the wrath of God that was rightfully ours. In Leviticus, the ever-burning fire represents the furious wrath of God against sin, which was fully satisfied when Christ was made sin for us. This is articulated in 2 Corinthians 5:21, which states that 'He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.' This demonstrates that through Jesus' sacrifice, the justice of God has been satisfied, and thus believers are no longer subject to condemnation.
