RETURN TO THE: BIBLE PAPERS HOME PAGE
This paper discusses Imputation, Reckoned, and Counted for Jesus righteousness
to us from God and removal of our sins to Jesus. All scriptures are from the King James,
version Bible.
INDUCTIVE COMMENTS:
THEME: Jesus was imputed with man's sin, but he did not sin Himself. The imputation of our sins to Jesus, and His righteousness imputed to us is the means of making the Gospel personal to us. It is not the historical facts of Jesus death, burial, & resurrection which regenerates us, but the regenerative act by God in us.
PURPOSE: Jesus was imputed with man's sin, but he did not sin Himself. The imputation of our sins to Jesus, and His righteousness imputed to us is the means of making the Gospel personal to us. It is not the historical facts of Jesus death, burial, & resurrection which regenerates us, but the regenerative act by God in us.
KEY VERSE: Jesus was imputed with man's sin, but he did not sin Himself. The imputation of our sins to Jesus, and His righteousness imputed to us is the means of making the Gospel personal to us. It is not the historical facts of Jesus death, burial, & resurrection which regenerates us, but the regenerative act by God in us.
WHO: God mainly by Bible authors Moses, David, and Paul
TO WHOM: Elected Christians
WHAT: Jesus was imputed with man's sin, but he did not sin Himself. The imputation of our sins to Jesus, and His righteousness imputed to us is the means of making the Gospel personal to us. It is not the historical facts of Jesus death, burial, & resurrection which regenerates us, but the regenerative act by God in us.
WHY: Jesus was reckoned with the Christian's sins. The imputation of our sins to Jesus, and His righteousness imputed to us is the means of our salvation.
Jesus was numbered/reckoned as a sinner, but He never
sinned in the flesh nor on the cross where He bared
the sins of many. In
WAY:
IMPUTATION: Means the merits of Christ are legally charged to the Christian, to their account. They are saved, justified, made a child and heir with Jesus. At the same time, Jesus righteousness, through God's grace, entitled the Christian to all that salvation offers of eternal life both on earth and in heaven. The Christian does not have a righteousness within himself. He gains Christ's righteousness. The Christian's sins are also imputed to Christ. Christ does not have sin within Himself. Jesus bears the Christian's sins.
Other words for imputed are: reckon, count, made, charge, declare, & credit to another account.
WHEREAS:
Adam's sin was imputed on all mankind; Jesus
righteousness is imputed to Christians by God's grace unto justification of
life:
Mankind was imputed with the sin of Adam; Christians are imputed with the righteousness of Jesus. This transfer of righteousness by one Jesus and sin by one Adam legally balances God's scales of justice for the Christian. This allows God to be both just & justifier of man back to God.
WHERE:
Earth
WHEN: All Times
WHILE: The Christian is to reckoned himself to be dead to sin:
