Are we really dead to sin. The word reckon is the same word that is translated impute or account. The sins of the elect were imputed to Christ. They became His. He became guilty before God. He was actually made sin. And He really died for the sins that had become His. He paid the […]
Christ Died in Place of His People (Matthew 27:21-26) Put your place in that cell with Barabbas. He hears his name shouted by the crowd. Then he hears, “Crucify him, crucify him!” He is convinced he is a dead man walking. The jailor opens the door to his cell. But instead of dragging him to […]
Righteousness revealed “…I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ…for therein is the righteousness of God revealed…” Romans 1:16-17 The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ reveals the righteousness of God in the justifying work of Christ which He wrought for the elect and is credited to their account before God, and is imputed to […]
