Why must justice be enacted for salvation?

The necessity of enacting justice for salvation is grounded in the character of God, who is both loving and just. God’s holiness demands that sin be addressed; therefore, the cost of sin must be paid. This is not simply a transactional requirement but a profound expression of God's righteousness and love. The entire framework of salvation is established through the sacrificial system foreshadowing Christ, who fully satisfies divine justice on behalf of the elect, ensuring that God's standard is met without compromising His character.
