Verse of the Day (February 15, 2020) #BMSeminary – No human love is the standard for understanding God’s great compassion, but God’s own action on man’s behalf. Propitiation is here an atoning sacrifice. Jesus bore in His body the punishment due us for our sin; in so doing He propitiated God, satisfied God’s just demand that sin be punished. Thus Jesus is both the advocate for sinners and the sacrifice for their sins. (KJV Study Bible, HarperCollins)
