There are various terms used in Scripture which we do not hear use in our daily conversations. Theses include such terms at sanctification, propitiation, and justification. It is the last of these terms which is our “One Word” study for this time. There are several questions which come to mind when I think about this term:

- Why do we need it?
- How do we obtain it?
- What does it do for us?
This is what we hope to learn from this lesson.
