Bible Question: Can someone please define Expiation? |
Bible Answer: Hello Mel! Expiation - Guilt is said to be expiated when it is visited with punishment falling on a substitute. Expiation is made for our sins when they are punished not in ourselves but in another who consents to stand in our room. It is that by which reconciliation is effected. Sin is thus said to be "covered" by vicarious satisfaction. (Easton's Bible Dictionary) John Reformed |
