How do we know that Jesus is a propitiation for our sins?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is recognized as the propitiation for our sins because He is the atoning sacrifice that satisfies God's justice.

The term 'propitiation' as defined in 1 John 2 indicates that Jesus’ sacrifice fulfills the requirements of God’s justice for sin. This means that through His death, Jesus absorbs the wrath of God that we deserve, allowing us to be reconciled to the Father. John emphasizes that Christ is not only the propitiation for our sins but also for the sins of the whole world, underscoring the infinite value and sufficiency of His work. It validates the belief that all who come to Him in faith are accepted and justified.
