Jesus Christ, the propitiation for our sins

[LeeLoving]

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and the propitiation for our sins. He is the means by which God the Father propitiated the problem of our sins for himself. Jesus died for our sins, God inflicted all consequence for our sins on Jesus.

Romans 3:24-26 KJV
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

1 John 2:2 KJV
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

 

[LeeLoving]

Something I should have included in my original post is that all our sins were laid on Jesus and that he was put to death for them by God the Father.

Isaiah 53:6 KJV
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

1 Peter 3:18 KJV
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

 

[Gideon300]

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and the propitiation for our sins. He is the means by which God the Father propitiated the problem of our sins for himself. Jesus died for our sins, God inflicted all consequence for our sins on Jesus.

Romans 3:24-26 KJV
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

1 John 2:2 KJV
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Yes, propitiation, not atonement. I found this article which says it better than I can:

May, I add John 1:29, John 19:30, Hebrews 9:14-17
So we can now presently have a friendship with Dad, a conversation of honesty? Telling God I just got angry again, I lusted again. I need truth Father, in how to deal with my ignorance and remain in humility to you, not to think I know, I get it, got it! Now trust you only to know you, seeing you have continued to love us all. Not understanding why, Just that you do that and have done that for a long time, ever since Genesis, even though Adam and Eve fell, in not believing they would die if ate and in unbelief ate! You still continued in love, Clothed them, fed them and then put them out of the Garden to teach them, not for to punish, to disciple them, to learn and trust you Father, wow, woe is me as in Isaiah 6:1-7. Even to Cain after he killed his Brother Abel. You did not kill Cain, marked Cain, not killed, amazing, Adam and Eve deserved to get killed and yet you did not kill them either. Then we see, at least me, in the "Testaments, you killed first born of Egyptians and the soldiers also, that first cursed The First Chosen to be killed 10 curses then Ten Laws. Amazing
What was God revealing to people, at least to me, I ask? I get truth told to me personally, so does one, anyone else in belief to God get this too, personally as well, this I see as I stay in not denying God no matter what troubles happen or not, As in the book of Job, tells me, thank you Father and Son for us to be new in trust to you to get us through all troubles we all get in to, and it is by Faith, trust to you, not by me, doing better than anyone else ever. Luke 18:9-14. Matthew 18:24-35.

God just loves us all, wants the best for us all, does not want anyone of us to fight, even though we all have done that and might do that again.
you reported Sins that are past
Romans 3:24-26
I see any sin committed is past so fast, it remains from God as forgiven in Son for us all. What? I can do nothing about past, can you? I can not do a thing about future, anyone else? I see to stand in the present second, and say to God whenever I sin again if do sin again or not! To not make a gigantic mess over it, as is made over it by religious leaders, and not be a person better than others ever as I read Luke 18:9-14 I see this being forgiven, reconciled ( 2 Corinthians 5:17-20) by God presently remains from God to me and all others as well, 1 John 2:1-2, read forward through to verse 27, and trust God Father and Son as Won to be our teacher, in this new life given us to abide in freely. Amazing to see this, when God reveals this to us all in love to us all, that God would not fight back in flesh at all. And did not, who went to that cross willingly and died once for us all to save us in his resurrected life (Hebrews 10:10), not of works any work from us, if it is of our flesh works, then it is not grace is it or a gift? To add any work to a gift, makes it not a gift

God gives, one, anyone that willingly receives becomes new, Thank you

Yes, propitiation, not atonement. I found this article which says it better than I can:

https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/why-does-atonement-disappear-in-the-new-testament

“who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Propitiation of sin is part of atonement appeasement of gods wrath against sin has to come before atonement and reconciliation can happen. Sin is death that’s why the lifeblood has to be shed to atone for it. The suffering and death is the propitiation and appeasement, but the life is in the blood of atonement . The blood of remission . it’s part of the same process “propitiation “and “atonement”

“For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.”
‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭17:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Jesus is the scapegoat , the sin sacrifice , the pass over sacrifice , the firstfruits offering , the daily sacrifice , the drink offering and fellowship offering he is both the propitiation for sin and his bloodshed was the atonement for sin that is able to remit sin he is also the the lord , the mediator and law giver , the high priest of God



he even at one point became the condemned “sinner “ hanged on the tree as a curse

“And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭21:22-23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:13‬ ‭

“who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

propitiation is about appeasing wrath

“Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, ( god hates sin and his wrath against it was appeased in Christs terrible suffering and death ) he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Atonement is about remission of sins by bloodshed because sin requires death . And the bloodshed is from life tbat was given up for your sin. One is redemptive and one secures oir escape from his wrath but this is written just before that part

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭1:9-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

then comes this part

“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:1-2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

so we need to acknowledge and confess our sins even though he suffered and died so harshly to propitiate gods wrath , but he also stoned for our clear conscience when we confess our sins knowing his bloodshed was for our atonement and reconciliation cost

(required appeasement of wrath )
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him;


( atonement and reconciliation )
and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53:5-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Absolutely true, John 19:30, John 1:29. Now risen where new life in God Father's Spirit and Truth is given us to be new and love all, not just a few as in first birth I am guilty of only loving those that loved me back

I, tell you in the First Testament it is written an eye for an eye. Now it is Love all, feed your enemies and that is not just about physical food or physical care. More importantly about our Souls to get saved by God Father in risen Son, since all first born flesh is dead to God after Adam the first Ate. Now the second Adam Jesus Christ in English, a life-giving Spirit. Not a flesh giving spirit, A life in Father's Spirit and Truth for us each to be new and love all in truth and be truthful one is not perfect, only God is, to me at least I see
Romans 8:1-3 all. sin, since the Savior Jesus did what is done once for us all. no more works of self can account for anything unless it be God doing it through me at least, seeing 1 Cor 13:1-3, and need God's imputation of God in me to do the work done for us all by Son working through us all in love to all in 1 Cor 13:4-7
Peter, feed the sheep, my sheep, everyone in God's spirit and truth leading thee only, thank you Lord for this gift!
God, did it by Son for me and all the world of people, it is done, we are all reconciled as forgiven by God in Son 2 Cor 5:17-20. Now see 2 Cor. 5:16 to see no more flesh to lead, we once knew him in the flesh, today no more. and how blessed are those that do not see physically (He said to Thomas) and know spiritually from God they are saved by God in God's love and mercy for us all to be at rest in. Hebrews 4:9-13

thank you for your sharing brother, as I see share back and we both grow into maturity in

God's grace given us both

Amen brother your hearing the gospel and seeing the kingdom of God

“Now it is Love all, feed your enemies and that is not just about physical food or physical care. More importantly about our Souls to get saved by God Father”


“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: and before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

( why ?)

for I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25:31-40‬ ‭KJV‬‬

notice what you are saying there , is just what Jesus was saying above in the gospel of the kingdom

Hiw many of us would feed Jesus if he was hungry ? Offer him help in his time if need ? Share our food with him ? Visit him in a time he needs a friend ? When we love someone in his name we are loving him

“By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭5:2-4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭2:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭2:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭2:17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Loving one another in Jesus name and ways in deed and truth is salvation

 

[Kroogz]

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and the propitiation for our sins. He is the means by which God the Father propitiated the problem of our sins for himself. Jesus died for our sins, God inflicted all consequence for our sins on Jesus.

Romans 3:24-26 KJV
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

1 John 2:2 KJV
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

The Lord Jesus Christ satisfied the Fathers Justice for ALL sin with His work on the Cross......Propitiated the Father. SATISFIED.

Sin is finished. It's all been paid for.

What mankind needs now is to be reconciled.......Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. And that Goes for EVERYBODY. The Father is fully Propitiated by the perfect work of Christ.

Salvation/reconciliation/justification ~~Equal privilege and equal opportunity for ALL. Acts 16:31.

 

[homwardbound]

That includes all, even those that do not see what is seen from God to each person yet
As we each grow new in this done work of Son for us to be new in his risen Life as a gift given from God Father himself to us each to love, regardless
A great Ex: is John 8 to me is when he said to her
"Neither do I accuse you" go and sin no more
Do you think she stopped sinning completely? I see I bet as best she could willingly in thanksgiving and praise to God through Son. Then the religious leaders start using you better not or else and make people guilty and end up trusting in self and other people over the truth God has revealed love all. get busy there, and I see no more time to sin, how about anyone else? Amazing grace this is given to be new I stand in trust to God Father of in risen Son thank you Lord
Impute, your truth to me and all others too, as I already see you still doing that one person at a time thank you

 

[p_rehbein]

Something I should have included in my original post is that all our sins were laid on Jesus and that he was put to death for them by God the Father.

Isaiah 53:6 KJV
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

1 Peter 3:18 KJV
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

His blood was shed to wash man clean from ALL types of sins. Upon salvation, all sins we have committed are washed away. However, your statement seems to suggest that after salvation man can continue to sin without having to repent of those sins. That is NOT true. Jesus Himself taught us to pray for such sins: "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us"

You may also want to consider that if we do not forgive those who trespass against us, God will NOT forgive our trespasses, right?

Salvation IS NOT a FREE TICKET to do as we wish........

Christianity is sometimes criticized as a license to steal, so to speak.

Well; that's true to a certain extent because folks unified with Christ are on
an honor system rather than a legal system, viz: they have immunity from
any, and all, of the curses that Moses' covenant imposes on disobedience
per Lev 26:3-38, Deut 27:15-26, and Deut 28:1-69 because their
association with God is via a different covenant wherein are no curses for
non compliance.

Also: when people unify with Christ, the list of wrongs that God has been
accumulating against them gets demolished and from thence He does not
begin compiling a new list.

● John 5:24 . . I assure you: those who listen to my message, and believe in
God who sent me, have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their
sins, but they have already passed from death into life.

● 2Cor 5:19 . . God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not
counting their trespasses against them

The Greek word translated "counting" means to take an inventory; i.e. an
indictment.

Folks unified with Christ have quite an advantage because when there are no
indictments against offenders, then there is nothing on record with which to
accuse them, i.e. it's as though they've never been anything but 100%
innocent. This may seem like cooking the books, but God has a way to do it
without obstructing justice.

So then; there's a bit of a moral hazard within Christianity. However, God
prefers that people unified with Christ not allow human nature be the
dominant force in their lives.

● Gal 5:13a . . You, my brethren, were called to be free. But do not use your
liberty to indulge the base nature. (cf. Rom 6:1-13 and Col 3:1-17)

[reneweddaybyday]

Propitiation – Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words (bold mine):

akin to hileos ("merciful, propitious"), signifies "an expiation, a means whereby sin is covered and remitted." It is used in the NT of Christ Himself as "the propitiation," in 1 John 2:2; 4:10, signifying that He Himself, through the expiatory sacrifice of His Death, is the Personal means by whom God shows mercy to the sinner who believes on Christ as the One thus provided. In the former passage He is described as "the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world." ... What is indicated is that provision is made for the whole world, so that no one is, by Divine predetermination, excluded from the scope of God's mercy; the efficacy of the "propitiation," however, is made actual for those who believe.

Salvation IS NOT a FREE TICKET to do as we wish........

No, it is not. Nor is it a work for man to try to do anymore as the first chosen prove to me no one can be perfect on their own. We each and all need God's truth to set each person free personally, between God and them too, correct?
therefore, why are the Gentiles, going to the first chosen and ripping off their ragged clothes and putting therm on themselves and saying watch me, I can Do it, even though no one can.
God himself in risen Son puts on us each clean righteous clothes through his risen Son, for anyone to stand in belief to this truth, eventually see through the veil too. Yet humbly so, no way as being anyone better than anyone else thank you, to me at least, Father loves us all y'all that is why Son went to that cross to reconcile us all as forgiven first. So, we can now have a new life of love and mercy, then giving that to all after receiving it first through Son for us all, at least me thank you'll
We, I love, because /God first loved me, that be my thankful response

Authorized (King James) Version

Psalm 1:1-4
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so:
but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Romans 4:11
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
Romans 4:23
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
Romans 5:13
(for until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
what does that verse mean above Rom 5:13

Are we to now take for granted this amazing gift of reconciliation and just do whatever we want? I guess we could, since the Corinthians did at first, took this forgiveness for granted and harmed others in that process. Which, is why Paul wrote 1 Cor and 2 Cor

God forbid!, it might be time to see the whole truth, nothing but the truth from God given us through Son. The death was/is for reconciliation only. The risen Life is where new life is a gift to love all and not harm anyone again, over any self gain to the first born flesh person, that is not redeemed, yet learns to be dead to the first born flesh, by God Father teaching each personally this truth, thank you Lord!
You see in 2 Cor 7, Paul acknowledged, they repented and were and are saved. There was or is no talk of any further repentance to do (they, turned from Unbelief to belief), saw if sin again, by God only, they remain forgiven by God through Son's done work. These people learn new from God perfectly and these by God's done work of Son alone stop sin. Might not happen at first, yet over time one, anyone willing end up doing Law perfectly, without taking any credit in self doing it.
If, I am taking any credit in doing any good, Pride is taking me for a ride, anyone else see this too? Thank you Father and Son as Won (One) being given the gift of wisdom to abide in love and mercy given, God Father, and Son with God's Holy Spirit leading gets all the credit or it is not really Born again yet, is it? To me, not me anyways. Each gets to decide for themselves, between God and them personally as well, then the new begins.
Have another blessed day, seeing how deep, wide and high this love of God is for us all.
