1 | Relief from God's Wrath | Rom 3:25 | Morant61 | 166779 | ||
Greetings All! Here is an excellent quote from Leon Morris concerning God's wrath and the appeasement of it. "There are problems with the next expression, which KJV rendered 'a propitation' and which nearly ever modern translation waters down. Part of the trouble is that 'propitiation' is neither a well-known nor a well-used word today, and translators like to employ something simpler. But the major reason is that propitiation means the removal of wrath and, as we saw earlier (see the notes on 1:18), some commentators find the concept of the divine wrath distasteful and unworthy; so they write it out of Scripture. If there is no wrath there is no propitiation. There are two major reasons for rejecting this approach. One is the meaning of the word Paul uses. The detailed examinations mentioned in n. 126 show that the word means 'the removal of wrath'. The other is context. Paul has mounted heavy artillery in the section 1:18-3:20 to show that all are sinners and subject to the wrath of God. But unless the present term means the removal of wrath he has left them there, still under the God's wrath. Nothing else he says means the averting of wrath. On both accounts we should see Paul as saying that from one point of view Christ's death means the removal of the divine wrath from believing sinners."
