What is the relationship between redemption and propitiation?

Answered in 1 source

Redemption and propitiation are interconnected; while propitiation appeases God's wrath, redemption brings believers into full acceptance with God through Christ.

The relationship between redemption and propitiation is foundational to Christian soteriology. Propitiation addresses the need for satisfaction of divine justice due to sin, indicating how Christ's sacrifice appeases God’s wrath. On the other hand, redemption refers to the act of purchasing back or saving believers from sin and its consequences. In Romans 3:24, we see that believers are justified freely by God's grace through the redemption found in Christ Jesus. Thus, propitiation enables redemption; without Christ satisfying the wrath of God, the redemption of sinners would be impossible. Together, they illustrate the comprehensive work of Christ in saving His people.
