Propitiation means meeting the claims of God's holy nature.
"Whom God bath set forth" tells of the precious fact that it was the heart of God in grace that provided the sacrifice.
1 John 2:22And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (1 John 2:2) tells us that the work of propitiation was for the whole world, so that any of Adam's race can come to Christ and be saved.
God was never revealed as a "Savior God" for the whole world until the New Testament was written. May we glorify HIM for His mercy and sing unto His name! (Rom. 15:99And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. (Romans 15:9).)
COME to the blood-stained tree;
The Victim bleeding lies;
God sets the sinner free,
Since Christ a ransom dies:
The Spirit will apply
His blood to cleanse the soul,
O burdened soul, draw nigh,
For none can come in vain
Come, come, come.
Dark though thy guilt appear,
And deep its crimson dye,
There's boundless mercy here-
Do not from mercy fly;
Oh, do not doubt His Word,
There's pardon full and free,
For justice smote the Lord,
And sheathes her sword for thee.
Come, come, come.
Look not within for peace,
Within there's naught to cheer;
Look up, and find release
From sin and self and fear;
If gloom thy soul enshroud,
If tears faith's eye bedim,
If doubts around thee crowd,
Come, tell them all to Him.
Come, come, come.
