Best Answer

Justice is defined as giving one their due or what is owed. Sin violates justice because God is not given the loving obedience He deserves. Strict justice requires that until we pay an infinite price for offending the infinite majesty of God, God must withdraw from us and we must suffer death and the effects of sin. However, through His mercy, the Son of God became man to save us, and offering Himself on the cross, was able to pay the infinite debt owed to God. Because He is God, He is infinite and able to pay an infinite debt; because He is man, He is able to act on man's behalf. Therefore, through God's mercy, salvation is available to God and the demands of justice are still met.
