How do we know that God's justice is fulfilled in the cross?

Answered in 1 source

God's justice is fulfilled in the cross through Christ taking the punishment for sin, ensuring that justice is served while offering salvation.

Romans 3:23-26 explains that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. However, God demonstrates His justice through the sacrifice of Christ, who was set forth as a propitiation for our sins. This means that Christ bore the penalty for sin, fulfilling God's requirement for justice without compromising His righteousness. The sacrificial death of Christ proves that God does not overlook sin but rather punishes it in Christ. Therefore, God's justice and love are magnified in this unique way: Christ suffers for the guilty, allowing God to remain just while justifying those who believe in Jesus (Romans 3:26). This fundamental aspect of salvation assures believers of God's commitment to His own nature and His promises.
