Why is it impossible for God to justify the wicked?

Answered in 1 source

God cannot justify the wicked because to do so would contradict His nature of justice.

The scripture clearly states that God will by no means clear the guilty (Exodus 34:7). If God were to justify the wicked without satisfying justice, He would compromise His own character. The only way sinners could be justified is through the atoning work of Christ, where our sins were laid on Him. Jesus’ substitutionary atonement ensures that God remains just while justifying those who have faith in Him, thus upholding His righteous character.
