Answered in 1 source
Christ's sacrifice fulfilled God's justice by bearing the penalty for sin on behalf of His people, satisfying divine justice.
The fulfillment of God's justice through Christ's sacrifice is crucial for understanding the gospel. As stated in Isaiah 53:10, 'It pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief.' This reflects how Christ's death was ordained to fulfill God's righteousness. He became a man without sin, taking upon Himself the sins of God's people. God's justice demands that the penalty for sin be paid, and Christ, as the sinless Lamb of God, bore this wrath on our behalf. Through His suffering, Christ demonstrated that God is both just and the justifier of sinners, as affirmed in Romans 3:26. Consequently, Christ's sacrifice met the requirements of God's law, allowing Him to justly extend mercy to those who believe.
