INDUCTIVE COMMENTS:

THEME: Jesus was imputed with man's sin, but he did not sin Himself. The imputation of our sins to Jesus, and His righteousness imputed to us is the means of making the Gospel personal to us. It is not the historical facts of Jesus death, burial, & resurrection which regenerates us, but the regenerative act by God in us.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 Righteousness G1343; sin is sin offering; Reckon G3049

Philippians 3:13-14 Forget past sins & failures & count oneself to apprehend the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

WHAT: Jesus was imputed with man's sin, but he did not sin Himself. The imputation of our sins to Jesus, and His righteousness imputed to us is the means of making the Gospel personal to us. It is not the historical facts of Jesus death, burial, & resurrection which regenerates us, but the regenerative act by God in us.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 Righteousness G1343; sin is sin offering; Reckon G3049

Philippians 3:6-10 Paul's works were as dung as compared with God's righteousness being excellent.

WHY: Jesus was reckoned with the Christian's sins. The imputation of our sins to Jesus, and His righteousness imputed to us is the means of our salvation.

Isaiah 53:12 H4487

Mark 15:28 Numbered G3049

Luke 22:37 Reckon G3049

Jesus was numbered/reckoned as a sinner, but He never sinned in the flesh nor on the cross where He bared the sins of many. In 2 Corinthians 5:19 above, God was in Christ on the cross.

WAY:

IMPUTATION: Means the merits of Christ are legally charged to the Christian, to their account. They are saved, justified, made a child and heir with Jesus. At the same time, Jesus righteousness, through God's grace, entitled the Christian to all that salvation offers of eternal life both on earth and in heaven. The Christian does not have a righteousness within himself. He gains Christ's righteousness. The Christian's sins are also imputed to Christ. Christ does not have sin within Himself. Jesus bears the Christian's sins.

2 Corinthians 5:21 Correct words are: made him to be sin offering for us.

Other words for imputed are: reckon, count, made, charge, declare, & credit to another account.

WHEREAS: Adam's sin was imputed on all mankind; Jesus righteousness is imputed to Christians by God's grace unto justification of life:

Romans 5:12-14 Imputed G1677

Romans 5:17-18

Mankind was imputed with the sin of Adam; Christians are imputed with the righteousness of Jesus. This transfer of righteousness by one Jesus and sin by one Adam legally balances God's scales of justice for the Christian. This allows God to be both just & justifier of man back to God.

Romans 3:26 "To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus."

Romans 4:1-5 G3049 Neither Abraham or us are justified by our works (efforts) but by our faith God imputes Jesus righteousness to us. It is by God's grace to provide our faith in God and His righteousness reckon.
