NASB | 1 John 4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation [that is, the atoning sacrifice, and the satisfying offering] for our sins [fulfilling God's requirement for justice against sin and placating His wrath]. |
Subject: The Atoning Sacrifice |
Bible Note: "Has the word propitiation any place in your Christianity? In the faith of the New Testament it is central. The love of God, the taking of human form by the Son, the meaning of the cross, Christ’s heavenly intercession, the way of salvation -- all are to be explained in terms of it... and any explanation from which the thought of propitiation is missing will be incomplete, and indeed actually misleading, by New Testament standards." --J. I. Packer, "Knowing God", page 181 |
