Romans 3:25
Whom GOD hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His Blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of GOD.
JESUS IS THE MERCY SEAT - THE THRONE OF GRACE
I want to quote a comment by C.I. Scofield on this awesome understanding of JESUS as the Mercy Seat: "Christ completely satisfied the just demands of a Holy GOD for judgment on sin by His death on the cross. GOD, foreseeing the cross, is righteous in forgiving sins in the O.T. period as well as in justifying sinners under the new covenant, through the shedding of Blood. Propitiation is not placating a vengeful GOD but, rather, it is satisfying the righteousness of a Holy GOD, thereby making it possible for Him to show mercy righteously. " The Blood of JESUS changed the seat of judgement into the Mercy Seat.
By the Blood of JESUS we are reconciled to GOD; by His wounds we are healed/saved. JESUS is the perfect Lamb who was slain, to make atonement for our sin and bring us into union with GOD.
Oh, what a gift, what a wonderful gift; who can tell the wonders of the LORD. Let us open our hearts and receive this gift. It is the lifeline to bring us to GOD.
