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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Jesus' sacrificial death satisfies God's justice and provides atonement for our sins, as confirmed in 1 John 2:2.

The doctrine of propitiation is integral to understanding how Jesus addresses the issue of sin. In 1 John 2:2, it asserts that 'He is the propitiation for our sins,' indicating that Jesus' death not only covers our sins but also satisfies God's just wrath against sin. This means that through Christ, believers can have confidence in their relationship with God, knowing that their sins are justly dealt with and that they are reconciled to God. This assurance leads to peace of mind and restful sleep, as we acknowledge that our standing before God is secured through Christ's sacrifice, not our own works.
