Propitiation

On the cross, God displays both His love and His wrath; His wrath poured out on sin, His love demonstrated by the provision of His Son. The blood that Jesus Christ shed on the cross satisfied the wrath of God against the sin of man. The judgement, punishment, and wrath that sinful man deserved was satisfied in the death of the sinless Son of God. Jesus Christ, the propitiation for our sin.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 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; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus." (Romans 3:23-26 KJV)

"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins." (1 John 4:10 KJV)

"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." (2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV)
