The LORD has chosen Zion, He has desired it for His dwelling. Psalm 132:13

Jesus, Our Atoning Sacrifice

…He Himself is the propitiation for our sins… 1 Jn. 2:2
 
Propitiation is defined as the act of making peace, or doing something pleasing for someone or  the act of atoning for sin or wrongdoing. After the fall in the garden of Eden, man has lost the fellowship, peace with the creator. Praise be to God for Jesus Christ who became once for all  propitiation for our sins.

Jesus Christ is the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Jesus was the only worthy one who could die for us. He had no sin. He is our defense attorney. He can stand before God as our mediator because His death satisfied the wrath of God against sin & paid the death penalty for our sin. Thus Christ both satisfies God’s requirement and removes our sins. In Him we are forgiven & purified. There is no condemnation for those who are cleansed by His blood, there is no sin that his blood cannot cleanse.
