How does Isaiah 53 relate to God's justice in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Isaiah 53 illustrates how God’s justice is satisfied through Christ's sacrifice, allowing Him to justly forgive sin.

Isaiah 53 beautifully outlines the intersection of God’s justice and mercy. It confirms that Messiah's suffering was not arbitrary; rather, it was a divinely ordained plan to propitiate God's wrath and restore humanity to fellowship with Him. Verses 10 and 11 state that it pleased the Lord to bruise Him, indicating that God had orchestrated Christ's suffering as a means to fulfill His justice. This demonstrates how God can be just and the justifier of those who have faith in Jesus, as affirmed in Romans 3:26. Thus, through Christ's atoning work, God's justice is satisfied while grace is extended to the undeserving.
