Expiate SIN!

[John 1:29]  The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which “taketh away” the sin of the world.

[1st John 4:10]  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation [expiate- a way to take away sin-guilt-to sin no more] for our sins.[guilt-being a criminal against God’s righteousness, His truth.]

[Hebrews 7:26]  For such an high priest [Jesus the Christ] became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

Jesus doesn’t hob nob in life with willful disobedient professing sinning Christians who have another gospel, an invented 21^st century Jesus, and another way. You are cursed!

Propitiation means “a way made: a means of; available route; of transferring from the highway of constant sinning [lies] to the Highway of constant Holiness [God’s truth] standing in Christ and His word as He says it pleasing God the Father. Christ has nothing to do with the highway of sin other than providing a bridge, in his blood and his death, for one to “come out [over] from among them and be not partakers of sin” to find life and joy in serving the Lord in Holiness.  “Repent! Sin no more!”

Propitiation:

Function:noun

Inflected Form:-s

Etymology:Middle English propiciacioun, from Late Latin propiation-, propitiatio, from Latin propitiatus (past participle of propitiare) + -ion-, -io -ion

1 : the act of propitiating, appeasing, or conciliating

2 : something that “appeases or conciliates a deity” : ATONEMENT;  specifically   : the self-sacrifice and death of Jesus Christ to appease divine justice and to effect reconciliation between God and man

(to appease justice for God to turn from righteous wrath, was not to exact payment, nor substitute a penalty, life for a life nor sin for sin, past or future, but a willing sacrifice of obedience, which Adam failed to do, remain obedient. Sin enacted a curse, death upon all men, a spiritual separation from God, with His wrath abiding on sinners, by disobedience to His word. Gen 3:1-8 listening to lies and lusting-wise in their own eyes, not seeking God to obey!

Old Testament has an account of lambs being the daily sacrifice for sins to just cover, atone, for the guilt not being able to remove, atone, the guilt from the conscience.  The world at that time was still under the curse of God’s forth coming wrath upon mankind for rebellion against Him but in Israel God had set a means to have fellowship with His people in Holiness [obedience to His word] and whosoever came to be a part of it until the time of “reformation in Christ”. Heb 10:4, 6)
