"In justification, the sinner is declared righteous but in propitiation, God is declared righteous because God the righteous judge of the universe has punished sin in His Son’s penal substitutionary death.

"He punished all (Elect) sinners’ sins in His son on the cross. Paul teaches the necessity of God’s punishment of sin in His Son.

"Because of propitiation, God can be just when He declares the believing sinner righteous because the sinner’s sins were punished in his Son.

"If Christ offered Himself as the satisfaction of God’s wrath against sinners, then any sinner “who believes in Jesus” can be justified (Romans 3:26).

"These doctrines are inexorably related to the doctrine of penal substitution: the wrath of God, imputation, prophets, faith, sin, the deity of Christ, justification, imputation, redemption, and propitiation."
