What does it mean that God is just?

Answered in 2 sources

God's justice means He is righteous and upholds the law, ensuring that sin is punished and grace is extended to the elect through Christ.

The justice of God is foundational to understanding His character and how He interacts with humanity. God's justice upholds His righteousness and makes Him unwilling to overlook sin. Isaiah 53:11 affirms that the Lord's righteous servant justifies many by bearing their iniquities. This means that while God is completely just, He also provides a way for sinners to be justified through Christ's sacrifice. Thus, His justice is perfectly balanced with His grace, demonstrating that He fulfills the demands of the law while extending mercy to those He has chosen.
