How does Jesus fulfill the requirements of God's justice?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus fulfills God's justice by bearing the sins of His people and satisfying the demands of divine law through His death.
Jesus fulfills the requirements of God's justice by being both the substitute and the sacrifice for His elect. During His crucifixion, He bore our sins, taking upon Himself the punishment that was due for wrongdoing. As stated in 2 Corinthians 5:21, 'He made Him to be sin for us,' emphasizing that Christ, though sinless, became the embodiment of sin for our sake. This act of substitution satisfies God’s justice, ensuring that the penalty for sin is paid justly. His resurrection further confirms that justice has been served, providing believers with assurance that their sins are forgiven and that they possess eternal life through Him.
