How do we know that Christ's satisfaction of God's justice is true?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's satisfaction is evidenced by His perfect obedience and sacrificial death, fulfilling the demands of God's justice.
We find assurance in the truth of Christ's satisfaction of God's justice through multiple scripture passages that affirm His role as the perfect sacrifice for sin. Isaiah 53:10 states, 'It pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief,' indicating that God was satisfied with Christ's sacrificial death. Furthermore, Hebrews 10:12 asserts that Christ, after offering Himself as a sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, signifying that His work was complete and accepted. The resurrection of Christ is also pivotal; it demonstrates that God accepted His sacrifice, validating that His death satisfied the penalty for our sins. Hence, through Christ's obedience and sacrifice, divine justice is satisfied, granting believers peace with God.
