In the Old Testament, God met the Israelites at the mercy seat of the tabernacle. (Ex 30:6)

Jesus justified us by offering Himself as a propitiation to God for our sins. (Rom 3:25, 1 John 4:10)
Rom 3:25 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;
1 John 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.
