How do we know that God can be both just and a Savior?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible explains that God remains just while saving sinners through the sacrificial work of Jesus Christ.

The compatibility of God's justice and His role as a Savior is essential to understanding the gospel. Isaiah 45:21 states that God is both just and a Savior, meaning He upholds His justice while providing salvation. The cross exemplifies this duality; God punishes sin in Christ, who bore our sins and provided a way for sinners to be justified. This doctrine is vividly illustrated in 2 Corinthians 5:21, where it says that God made Christ sin for us so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Thus, God's justice is upheld, and His mercy is displayed in the forgiveness of undeserving sinners.
