Romans 4:6-8 "Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin."
The blessedness of man is a good way to describe our condition under grace. I think of a bank account. Our "Righteousness Account" is completely empty. And every work we attempt to credit that account fails miserably. However God in His love and grace imputes righteousness into that empty account. The word impute means "to pass into one's account".
If we accept His forgiveness and allow Him to cover our sins, our "Sin Account" is wiped completely, utterly clean. He then transfers righteousness to our account, the righteousness through faith.
How do I view my accounts? Do I realize that my "Sin Account" is clean? Do I live that way? Do I realize that my "Righteousness Account" is full because of Jesus? Do I live that way?
