In Romans 3:25–26, Paul points us to the heart of the gospel: the blood of Jesus Christ. His sacrifice is our propitiation—the cleansing that satisfies God’s justice and turns away His wrath. At the cross, God’s holiness and His love meet. As one pastor put it, “God Himself gave Himself to save us from Himself.” Through Christ’s blood, we are forgiven, made new, and invited to live as children of God.
