Why is Christ's work on the cross considered restitution?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's work on the cross is viewed as restitution because He paid the penalty for our sins, restoring our relationship with God.

Christ's sacrificial death on the cross is the ultimate act of restitution for humanity's sin against God. By taking the punishment we deserve, He made amends for our trespasses and satisfied divine justice. The concept of restitution, shown through the biblical laws, carries over into the New Testament as Christ fulfills the requirements of God's law for His people. His blood cleanses us and restores our relationship with God, allowing peace to prevail where there was once enmity due to sin. The work of Christ not only exemplifies divine love but also the fundamental principle of restitution being made—where what was owed is fully paid, and a right relationship is established.
