Luke 24:46-47
It is by the Father's plan (Romans 8:3-4) that Christ's sacrifice has rendered Him propitious toward all men, converted and unconverted (I John 2:2). We can thank God that the penalty that would prevent us from receiving salvation has now been paid for all sinners. However, a person must repent, accept Jesus Christ as his or her personal Savior, and be baptized in order to receive the benefit of His propitiatory sacrifice (Acts 2:38; Luke 13:3).

What Does Luke 24:46 Mean?
By the Father's plan, Christ's sacrifice renders Him propitious toward all men, both converted and unconverted. The penalty that would prevent receiving salvation has been paid for all sinners. Yet a person must repent, accept Jesus Christ as personal Savior, and be baptized to receive the benefit of His propitiatory sacrifice.
