Getting to Know Jesus by Name #70: Propitiation

Romans 3:22 For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith.

Christ is our Propitiation - not an everyday word - He is one who "gains or regains the goodwill of; appeases or makes an atoning sacrifice." *  He steps in between us and God and pays what we owe so we can be in God's good favor.  He is willing to do that for all of us, because all of us have fallen short.  He freely offers to make the payment, and He has the means to do so.  Have you received His gift?
