A.W. Pink examines 1 John 2:2, arguing against the interpretation that Christ's propitiation is universal for all humanity. He emphasizes that the verse is specifically addressing believers, particularly Jewish believers, and that the term 'whole world' refers to Gentile believers as well. Pink asserts that the atonement is effective and not a failure, as it is designed to accomplish God's purpose without ambiguity. He warns against the implications of a universal atonement that could undermine the assurance of salvation for believers. Ultimately, Pink calls for a return to the biblical understanding of Christ's propitiation as limited to those who have faith.
