Propitiation is the work Jesus did on the cross to appease and satisfy God's wrath so He would be able to pardon sinners who trust in Christ. Atonement - Used in the Old Testament means to cover. The Hebrew word is "kaphar" also "kippur". The same word is used for pitch, when Noah built the ark, see Genesis 6:14. Israel as a distinct nation was required every year to offer the blood of an animal for the sins of the nation on the day of atonement or "yom kippur", see Exodus 30:10. The difference is the death of Jesus Christ was a propitiation for our sins not just a covering. The old repetitive system required under the Mosaic law was done away with and a new covenant was established. The shedding of Christ's blood satisfied once and for all time the wrath of God, which no animal's blood could ever do. See Hebrews chapter 10. Mar 10:45 KJV For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Rom 6:23 KJV For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
"For He [God the Father] made Him [Jesus Christ] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (2Cor 5:21 NKJV)
1Jn 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Using atonement in place of propitiation as seen in some modern versions of the bible renders the death of Christ a perpetual sacrifice which it is not, it was a one time event. Two different translations of the same verses:-
Rom 3:23-25 KJV For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; [verse 24] Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: [verse 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;
Rom 3:23-25 WEB for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; [v. 24] being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; [v. 25] whom God set forth to be an atoning sacrifice, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God's forbearance;
