A. The basic meaning of propitiation is to satisfy God’s wrath against our sin.
Propitiation is not a word that we use in common conversation. It comes from the ancient religious world, where people offered sacrifices to appease the anger of the gods. Because of that imagery, some liberal scholars have tried to eliminate the idea of God’s anger by changing the word to expiation, which refers to the removal of guilt. But Leon Morris (The Apostolic Preaching of the Cross [Eerdmans, third ed.], pp. 144-213) and other scholars have shown that the idea of satisfying God’s wra...
B. Christ’s blood is the means by which God’s wrath is propitiated or satisfied.
Again, liberals do not like the emphasis on Christ’s blood as the means of propitiation. This seems crude and primitive. We may wonder why the New Testament puts such an emphasis on Christ’s blood.

Why do we not hear more of it in supposedly evangelistic messages?Some have argued that Old Testament saints were not truly forgiven. Why is this an error? What does Heb. 10:1-4mean?How would you explain to an unbeliever what it means to have faith in Jesus? What analogies can you use?The Bible’s statement, “For the wages of sin is death …” (Romans 6:23), applies to all sin, whether in thought, word, or deed. At the same time, it seems obvious that some sins are worse than others in both motivation and effects, and should be judged accordingly.
Aug 21, 2023 · In this one verse, “sin,” “iniquity,” and “transgression” are all mentioned. Basically, the three words communicate the same idea: evil and lawlessness, as defined by God (see 1 John 3:4). However, upon closer examination, each word also carries a slightly different meaning.
