What does it mean that Christ is just?

Answered in 1 source

Christ being just means He perfectly upholds righteousness and fulfills all requirements of God's law on our behalf.

The term 'just' in reference to Christ signifies that He is the embodiment of righteousness, adhering to the perfect moral standard set by God. As explained during the sermon, Jesus does not merely meet the standard; He is the standard. This idea is not only foundational to understanding His nature but also essential for the act of imputation, where His righteousness is credited to believers. In a world burdened by sin, the reality that we are seen as righteous before God due to Christ's just nature is the cornerstone of the Gospel and our assurance of salvation.
