How do we know the doctrine of propitiation is true?

Answered in 2 sources

The doctrine of propitiation is grounded in 1 John 4:10, which teaches that God sent His Son as a propitiation for our sins, demonstrating His love and justice.

The truth of the doctrine of propitiation is firmly rooted in scripture, specifically in 1 John 4:10. Here we learn that 'God sent His only begotten Son into the world that we might live through Him.' This act was not merely one of affection, but a profound legal transaction where Christ became the propitiation for our sins—a sin-removing sacrifice. The implications of this doctrine reveal that through Christ's atonement, God's anger towards sin has been appeased, granting believers access to His grace. It highlights God’s commitment to His holiness while simultaneously displaying His love for sinners, asserting that the wrath due for sin has been satisfied on our behalf.
