There’s a Scripture in Romans that says that Jesus is “just and the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus (3:26)”. He is “just” – sinless, breaking no laws”, for our sins have been paid for – the death penalty. So, it is not wrong for Him to forgive us, passing that payment onto us. And He is the Justifier, for He paid for our sins Himself, dying in our place, making us “just’ – “just as if we had never broken the law – sinless”. Jesus satisfied the decree of Divine justice so that we might enter that place of no sin – the presence of God!

Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching 
Amen; often we overlook the distinguishing nature of two words which have so much to do with our Salvation, each affected at the moment we accept the Father’s gift of Saving Faith in the Son: the first being Righteousness, which is how God sees His holiness in us; and the second is Justification, which is our restored relationship with Him. Proffered by the Holy Spirit at the moment of Salvation, these two words will speak Eternal volumes about each of us who are Justified in all Righteousness!
