Propitiation. See ATONEMENT,
SIN. The term connotes “pacification,” or “appeasement.” In this sense, Jesus
Christ “appeased” judgment, or satisfied judgment, when he gave his life for
us.
Our sins may be
forgiven provided we repent. We cannot be saved in our sins. (Melvin Brooks, LDS
Reference Encyclopedia [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1960], 398)
