What role does Jesus Christ play in God's justice?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus Christ fulfills God's justice by bearing the punishment for sin, allowing God to justly justify the believer.

Jesus Christ is central to the demonstration of God's justice. He took on the sins of humanity in His sacrificial death, thus satisfying divine justice on behalf of sinners. As stated in 2 Corinthians 5:21, '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.' This transfer of imputed righteousness means that God can justly declare believers righteous without negating His justice. Furthermore, Romans 8:1 reassures us that 'there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.' Through Jesus, God's profound justice becomes a basis for hope rather than fear, fulfilling His promise to redeem and reconcile lost sinners.
