How do we know that God's justice demands payment for sin?

Answered in 1 source

God's justice demands payment for sin as evidenced in Romans 6:23, where it is stated that 'the wages of sin is death.'

The justice of God requires that sin be adequately punished, a theme thoroughly expressed in Scripture. Romans 6:23 articulates that 'the wages of sin is death,' highlighting that sin incurs a debt that must be satisfied. God’s righteousness cannot overlook sin; it necessitates that justice is served. This demand is further exemplified in instances like the flood and God's judgment upon Sodom and Gomorrah. The ultimate demonstration of God’s justice is found in the cross of Christ, where He bore the punishment for sin, satisfying divine justice while extending grace to His people. Therefore, understanding this aspect of God’s character is vital for recognizing the work of Christ in our salvation.
