How do we know that God can justify the ungodly?

Answered in 1 source

God justifies the ungodly through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21).

In 2 Corinthians 5:21, we see the core of the gospel: "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." This verse reveals that God the Father made Christ to be sin on our behalf, thereby allowing God to justify the ungodly. This exchange is possible because of Christ's perfect righteousness and His sacrificial death, which satisfied the demands of divine justice.
