What does it mean that God is propitiated by Christ's sacrifice?

Answered in 1 source

God is propitiated, meaning His wrath is satisfied through Christ’s sacrifice on behalf of sinners.

The concept that God is propitiated by Christ’s sacrifice refers to the Old Testament practice in which the shedding of blood brought forgiveness. Christ is precisely this sacrificial lamb for all who believe, appeasing God's righteous wrath against sin. As seen in the sermon, when God sees the blood of Christ, He passes over the sins of His people, satisfying His justice and welcoming them into His presence. Romans 3:25 affirms that God set forth Christ as a propitiation through faith, ensuring that those who trust in Him are no longer under condemnation.
