Pastor Richard "Buddy" Wimberly "The Law of Imputation" Romans 4:6-8, 5:17-21Impute = To reckon to one what does not belong to him.
Rom 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
We are sinners not because of breaking God’s law, we are sinners because of the law of imputation. Adam’s sin was reckoned to his descendants, it does not belong to us but it is reckoned to us. Adam = Man. Our representative fell to sin and thereby we are all reckoned as sinners.
Rom 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Rom 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Therefore we are sinners by no fault of our own! Not Fair you may say!!!
It is more fair than you can imagine. Think for a moment – if we were innocent or guilty based our individual personal ability, then it is certain 1. That all would still be found guilty (for all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.) Romans 3:23
2. No one would ever be able then to pay the debt for even his own sin.
3. However every individual would be accountable for his own sin debt.
Thanks be to God… this is only half of the story…..
Rom 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Rom 4:7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Just as sin is by imputation… so is righteousness. This is so marvelous because our righteousness is before God as filthy rags. So that it could never be by our righteousness that we could have hope of eternal life.
Rom 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
Rom 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Jesus paid for my sin and I receive His righteousness.
My sin is imputed to Christ and Christ’s righteousness is imputed to me.Pastor Richard "Buddy" Wimberly "The Law of Imputation" Romans 4:6-8, 5:17-21
