How do we know that Christ's sacrifice satisfies God's justice?

Answered in 3 sources

Christ's sacrifice satisfies God's justice because He was made sin for us, allowing Him to bear the full penalty for our transgressions.

The assurance that Christ's sacrifice satisfies divine justice is founded upon the theological principle that He was made sin for us, as stated in 2 Corinthians 5:21. This profound mystery signifies that Christ took on the guilt of our sins, becoming our substitute and facing the wrath of God in our stead. The justice of God demanded that a substitutionary atonement be made for sin, and only a perfect, sinless Savior could fulfill this requirement. When Christ hung on the cross, He bore the sins of His people, and through His death, He satisfied the demands of justice, leading to our justification. Romans 4:25 explains that He was delivered for our offenses and raised again for our justification, reinforcing that His resurrection confirms the acceptance of this sacrifice.
