(1) “For He (God) made Him (Jesus) who knew no sin to become sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.” – 2 Cor. 5:21
Romans 4:3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 5 And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness…
What a word is ‘imputation’ – that all of my sins, past, present and future, were imputed (transferred, credited) to my Savior on the cross who bore the wrath of God for them exhaustively as my Substitute; and that His righteous life that fully pleased His Father and every demand of His law, was imputed to my account by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone. This is my only hope and anchor and solid ground beneath my feet.
