How do we know that Christ's death satisfied God's justice?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death satisfied God's justice by bearing the penalty for sin on behalf of the elect, fulfilling the law's demands.

Christ's death is fundamentally linked to the satisfaction of God's justice as it fulfills the requirements of the law on behalf of the elect. Romans 3:25-26 explains how God publicly displayed Christ as a propitiation in His blood, demonstrating righteousness because God's justice was satisfied in His forbearance. The concept of expiation emphasizes that Christ bore our sins, as prophesied in Isaiah 53:6, where it states that the Lord laid upon Him the iniquity of us all. Hence, Jesus' vicarious suffering meets the infinite demands of God's holiness, allowing for the forgiveness of sins and reconciliation of the believer to God.
