Why is Jesus called the propitiation for our sins?

Answered in 1 source

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

The term 'propitiation' refers to Jesus as the atoning sacrifice who bears the wrath of God for our sins. In 1 John 2:2, we understand that He is not just the sacrifice for our sins alone but also for the sins of the whole world, indicating His atoning work transcends ethnic boundaries. This means Christ's sacrifice provides the means of reconciliation with God for all who believe, fulfilling the demands of the law that we could not meet ourselves.
