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

Answered in 1 source

Scripture consistently reveals God as both just and a Savior, as seen in Isaiah 45:21 and through the redemptive work of Christ.

In Isaiah 45:21, God describes Himself as a 'just God and a Savior' - this duality is crucial in understanding His character. God’s justice necessitates that sin be punished, while His mercy allows for the provision of a Savior to bear that punishment. The most profound demonstration of this truth is found at the cross, where Christ, as our substitute, took upon Himself the wrath due for our sins. Through this act, God remains just while justifying those who believe in Christ, thus perfectly reconciling His attributes of justice and mercy.
