Christ Our Redeemer and Propitiator

“For there is no difference; for ALL HAVE SINNED and FALL SHORT of the glory of God, being justified freely by HIS GRACE through the redemption that is in CHRIST JESUS.” [1]

Redemption is the action of regaining or gaining possession of something in exchange for payment or clearing a debt. Jesus Christ redeemed us. He became like us, human, so that we could regain the image of God once again. Christ exchanged His life for ours. He took the sin of our human race upon Himself so that whosoever believes in Him, whosoever has their sin-debt paid by Him, is REDEEMED unto God, purchased back to God... becoming a child of God.

“[Jesus Christ] whom God set forth as a propitiation by HIS BLOOD…” [2]

Propitiation is the action of propitiating or appeasing God. It is the action of atoning or covering or removing the sin that displeased God. Faith in Jesus Christ, the Propitiator, is the only way to please God and to be acceptable to God.

The Bible states that there is no other Name [than Christ] by which people are eternally saved. [3]

Jesus Christ is our Redeemer and Propitiator. Jesus is the only way to the Father. It is by the gracious merits of Jesus Christ credited to us that we enjoy a welcome into God’s presence and blessings.
