Propitiation (from Latin ''propitiāre'', "to appease;" from ''propitius'', "gracious")〔 propitiation. Collins English Dictionary – Complete & Unabridged 11th Edition. Retrieved September 1, 2012, from CollinsDictionary.com website: http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/Propitiation〕 is the act of appeasing or making well-disposed a deity, thus incurring divine favor or avoiding divine retribution. ==Christian theology== In Romans 3:25 the NASB translates "propitiation" from the Greek word ''hilasterion''. Concretely it specifically means the Lid of the Ark (in the Temple) (Strong's Greek Dictionary). The only other occurrence of the Greek ''hilasterion'' in the New Testament is in Hebrews 9:5, where the NASB translates it as "mercy seat". For many Christians it has the meaning of "that which expiates or propitiates" or "the gift which procures propitiation". "1 John 2:2 (KJV) And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." The word is also used in the New Testament for the place of propitiation, the "mercy seat". Hebrews 9:5. There is frequent similar use of ''hilasterion'' in the Septuagint, Exodus 25:18 ff. The mercy seat was sprinkled with atoning blood on the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16:14), representing that the righteous sentence of the Law had been executed, changing a judgment seat into a mercy seat (Hebrews 9:11–15; compare with "throne of grace" in Hebrews 4:14–16; place of communion, Exodus 25:21–22). Another Greek word, ''hilasmos'', is used for Christ as our propitiation. 1 John 2:2; 4:10, and for "atonement" in the Septuagint (Leviticus 25:9). The thought in the Old Testament sacrifices and in the New Testament fulfillment, is that Christ completely satisfied the just demands of our Holy Father for judgment on sin, by his death on the Cross of Calvary. (Hebrews 7:26-28) God, in view of the cross, is declared righteous in having been able to justify sins in the Old Testament period, as well as in being able to forgive sinners under the New Covenant (Romans 3:25,26; cf. Exodus 29:33, note). 〔NOT OR, it's a paraphase of the text referenced: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%203:25-26&version=NASB Romans 3:25-26 (NASB) "whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith.
