1 John 2:2
1 John 2:2
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Jesus serves as the propitiation for our sins, satisfying God’s justice and showing His love for humanity. Through His sacrifice, Jesus not only atoned for our sins but also for the sins of the entire world. This act of propitiation underscores the vastness of God's love, a love so deep that it covers not just individual wrongdoings but the collective sins of humanity. Redemption through Jesus means that God’s wrath against sin is appeased, allowing us to approach Him without fear. This verse reassures us of the comprehensive nature of Christ’s redemption; no sin is too great for His love to cover. As we reflect on this, we find peace and gratitude, knowing that we are fully forgiven and accepted by God, not by our merit but by His grace.
