God's justice is fully satisfied in the atoning work of Christ for the salvation of His people.
The justice of God is an essential aspect of His nature that is perfectly displayed in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Through Christ’s sacrifice, God's justice is satisfied because He takes upon Himself the full penalty for sin, allowing God to be both just and the justifier of those who have faith in Jesus (Romans 3:26). This means that every sin is justly punished while the sinner receives grace and mercy through Christ. As a result, believers can be assured that their standing before God is based not on their own works, but on Christ's accomplished righteousness. This understanding of divine justice is crucial in appreciating the depth and richness of God's grace offered in salvation.
