A beautiful truth




Memory:
Romans 4:4-5 (English Standard Version)

4Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 5And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness




im-put-ed/im·put·ing
Definition of IMPUTE (From Webster's online dictionary)
transitive verb
1
: to lay the responsibility or blame for often falsely or unjustly

This week as a family we learned the 3 acts of imputation.
1. Adam's sin was imputed to us in the Garden. 
2. Our sins were imputed to Christ when He died on the cross
3. God imputes Christ's righteousness to all who believe.


2 Corinthians 5:21 

21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.


A beautiful truth.
