Satisfying God's Wrath

How can God let anyone into heaven? Not too many people are wrestling with that question, but scripture wrestles with it. The reason is that God is just and He MUST punish sin. Therefore, since all men are sinners, how can God let anyone into heaven, instead of punishing them in hell as their sins deserve? The answer is propitiation. Christ became the propitiation -- the satisfaction of God's justice -- for our sins.
