How does the death of Christ demonstrate God’s justice?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death demonstrates God's justice by satisfying the penalty for sin while providing grace to sinners.

The death of Christ is the ultimate manifestation of God’s justice and mercy. In order to remain just while justifying the ungodly, God sent His Son to fulfill the requirements of the law by taking upon Himself the sins of the world. As noted in Mark 15, the sacrifice was necessary to reconcile humanity with God. The crucifixion was not an arbitrary act of violence; it was ordained by God as part of His sovereign plan. By accepting the penalty meant for sinners, Christ's death appeases divine wrath and fulfills the demands of justice, while simultaneously offering grace, thereby enabling God to justly pardon all who believe in Him. This dual aspect of God's nature—His justice and mercy—is perfectly displayed at Calvary.
