Hello everyone!
I would like to get anyone's interpretation of the following terms as to how they apply to Christ's death:
If you feel that supplying Scriptural reference will help you to better define your understanding feel free to do so. I only ask that you do not inundate this thread with Scripture that will only cause confusion.
I'll start:
Atonement - Christ's substitutionary sacrifice, His life and death, was the sole sufficient and efficient satisfaction to appease God's wrathful judgment against His chosen. Solely His life and death were sufficient to satisfy God and efficient to secure for God's chosen their salvation.
Propitiation - Christ's death was sufficient to gain or regain the favor or goodwill of God for God's elect. Those that Christ died for are at peace with God and are no longer objects of His wrath but, instead, are now members of His family.
God bless
