In Christianity, Propitiation is a theological term denoting that by which God is rendered propitious, i.e. , that 'satisfaction' or 'appeasement' by which it becomes consistent with His character and government to pardon and bless sinners. The propitiation does not procure His love or make Him loving; rather, it renders it consistent for Him to exercise His love towards sinners.
