Propitiation is the work Jesus did on the cross to appease and satisfy God's wrath so He would be able to pardon sinners who trust in Christ. It is God’s way of making amends for our sins. This He does by a process in which the guilt or innocence is transferred from one person (Jesus) to another (man). The guilt or the bad actions of one person is attributed or imputed to another. So that when it comes to punishment, the person who is the substitute bears the brunt, and that the person substituted goes away free. This way God made reparations for our sins by transferring them to Christ’s account as He hung on the cross at Calvary. The absolute sinless life of Jesus Christ makes this transaction possible as His innocence is transferred to those who believe and follow Him.

For by Him all things were created that are in
heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or principalities or
powers. All things were created through Him and for
Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all
things consist. (Colossians 1:16-17)
Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to
Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the
ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in
Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing
their trespasses to them, and has committed to us
the word of reconciliation. (2 Corinthians 5:18-19)
