Romans 3:23-26
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Dictionaries define "propitiation" as conciliation. Jesus Christ became our Propitiator so that God might justify us by His grace through our faith in His Son. We know why we badly need the Propitiator right? Yes, the answer is Romans 3:23 - we are all sinners and sinners we will forever be if not because of -again- the Propitiator. As Christians, we have acknowledged what Jesus Christ has done for us to be made right with God.
John 3:16, this is probably the most renowned verse among all the verses in the bible. It had to be known because it is the bible's core message. This was the first ever verse that I have hidden in my heart and it was only until lately that I have fully understood the meaning of it. Reciting this verse to myself over and over again makes me stand in awe of His great love for me, for us.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Something to think about:
Us - Jesus Christ - God --> justification and eternal life.
