What does God require in order to justify a sinner?

Answered in 1 source

God requires perfect justice, which is fulfilled in Christ's atonement for sinners.

God, being holy and just, cannot overlook sin when justifying a sinner. The demand for justice is met in Christ's atoning sacrifice, where our sins are imputed to Him, and in exchange, His righteousness is granted to us. 2 Corinthians 5:21 illustrates this connection, stating, 'For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.' Thus, God remains just while justifying those who have faith in Christ.
