This fall, we have been exploring the theology of the
Bible and how it applies to our lives as followers of Jesus Christ.
Chapter 18 of J.I. Packer's Knowing
God builds a central understanding of Christianity around one
complex but powerful word: propitiation. This concept addresses the deep
mysteries at the heart of our faith: justification of sin, the incarnation of
God the Son, the heavenly ministry of God, and the love of God. Put as a
more simple question, "Why did Jesus have to die for us?" There
is no more important topic to consider in this season of Advent as we prepare
to celebrate the birth of our Savior.
