Doctrine Of Imputation

The Doctrine Of Imputation...

The Doctrine Of Imputation is significant.

Imputation is defined as: To reckon to someone the blessing, curse, debt, etc. of another.

Biblically speaking, Adam's sin is imputed to all people (Rom. 5:12-21), therefore, we are all guilty before God. What did God do to remedy this serious matter? Our sins were put upon, imputed, to Jesus on the cross where He became sin on our behalf (2 Cor. 5:21) and died with them (Isaiah 53:4-6). Therefore, our sins are forgiven.

Understanding imputation is essential to spiritual growth. Imputation is the means of our salvation that provides the blessed work of sanctification. Our sins were put upon, imputed, to Jesus on the cross. Our sins were "given" to Jesus. When He died on the cross, our sins, in a sense, died with Him. The righteousness that was His through His perfect obedience to the Father in His complete obedience to the Law is imputed, given, to us.

In short, our sins were given to Jesus. His righteousness was given to us. Technically speaking our sins were imputed to Jesus. His righteousness was imputed to us and provides indisputable assurance that as believers, we will never come into condemnation (Romans 8:1)

Thus, Salvation is provided and exacted to all who will believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
