Imputation
In this article I want to talk with you on a subject
which is the bed rock that our faith must be built on if we are to experience
the freedom that Jesus spoke about in John 8:32 when He said,
"If you continue in my
word, then are you my disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free."
The great
Apostle Paul made a very profound statement in Rom. 4:20-25 when he said about
Abraham,
"He (Abraham) staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in
faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded
that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it (his
faith) was imputed to him for righteousness.
Now it was not written for his sake alone,
that it was imputed to him; But
for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up
Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and
was raised again for our justification."
In this study I
am going to point out to you some truths that the implication of will stager
your imagination. Your carnal mind will fight you as never before because what
I am about to show you will absolutely set you free from sin if you can only
believe what the Word of God says about you. You will no longer be plagued with
the consciousness of sin in your life!
What I am about to show you is so simple but because of what men have taught us about God's Word it is hard for our carnal mind to accept. I have touched on this subject with you often before but now I want to completely expose it to you. I must warn you, however, that it will shake what you have been taught and it will challenged what you believe to be the truth about some things. You will want to believe it but it is so simple it sounds too good to be true.
