This verse opens with a statement many find difficult to understand: "He is the propitiation for our sins." The Greek word Hilasmos can be translated as "propitiation," "expiation," or "atonement." All of these refer to settling, satisfying, or repaying a debt. In other words, Jesus is the only sufficient payment for the sins of humanity. Without this payment, we are left separated from God. Notice that verse 1 described Jesus also as our "advocate." This means that Christ not only speaks to God on our behalf, but He also pays our debt for us, as well. John was clear that this power of Jesus' sacrifice was made available to all people of the world. These words resemble 📖 John 3:16: "For God so loved the world…" This doesn't mean that every person will be saved. It does, however, mean that Christ's sacrifice was sufficient to pay the debt for anyone who comes to faith in Him (📖 Revelation 22:17). There is a distinction between Christ's power to (potentially) save all people and those who actually come to Him for salvation.

CLING TO GOD FOR SAFETY Many of the Jewish leaders wanted to follow Jesus, but they failed to turn to him, “for they loved human praise more than praise from God” (📖 John 12:43). Fear of man is a deadly curse of the sin nature and makes the world go around in the kingdom of darkness. It is the fear of man that makes people compromise on what they believe. It is the fear of man that causes men and women to look to others and public opinion to know what to think about things. The fear of man has not only kept some people out of the Church but has also driven some into the Church under false pretenses in times when the Church was strong. But the fear of man will always prove to be a decoy for anyone who does not truly learn to root his or her identity in Christ; and his or her adoption as a child of God. This person can trust “in the Lord” and be “kept safe.” The trap of the “fear of man” is one that rarely lets go of those who fall captive to it. Trusting in the Lord will keep one out of it because, as Christ said, “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (📖 Matthew 10:28). To fear the Lord is to trust him. To trust him is to be kept from the snare.
