What does it mean that God cannot save a sinner at the expense of His justice?

Answered in 1 source

It means that God's salvation for sinners must align with His justice, which requires sin to be punished.

God's justice necessitates that sin cannot go unpunished, as He is holy and cannot overlook wrongdoing. This is vividly illustrated in Christ's crucifixion, where Jesus bore our sins and endured the penalty for them, fulfilling God's demand for justice while offering salvation. The significance of His sacrifice lies in the truth that pardon comes only through the expensive price of sin being justly punished, thus ensuring that God’s justice and mercy coexist perfectly.
