What does it mean that God is both just and a Savior?

Answered in 1 source

God’s justice and His role as a Savior coexist through Christ's atonement for sin.

The tension between God's justice and His role as a Savior is resolved in Christ's sacrifice. He fulfills the righteous demands of the law while offering grace to sinners. As seen in Proverbs 11:1, a false balance is an abomination to the Lord. However, Christ's death aligns perfectly with divine justice because He bore the punishment for sin on our behalf. This concept is essential in sovereign grace theology, as it upholds both aspects of God's nature: He is just and the justifier of those who have faith in Jesus (Romans 3:26). Thus, understanding this duality enhances our appreciation for God's grace and motivates believers to respond in humility and worship.
