Imputation of Righteousness by the faith of Jesus
When God imputes Righteousness to us we become Righteous within. For God imputing Righteousness to us is God giving Himself to us by imputation. Jer.23:5-6 tells us Yahweh is our Righteousness, that is the Righteousness of the Righteous is Yahweh Himself. This is due to the conscious indwelling of God in the heart as they consciously hold the faith/ the revealed truths in the heart. So God imputes Himself as RIghteousness to us through the faith - the revealed truths.
Impute (Gk logizomai) means to consider/esteem/ count. When God esteems or imputes something to be a certain way it becomes that way. When God counts or esteem Himself as part of our conscious experience it becomes that way in reality so we actually have an experience of the Love of God through the faith the revealed truths of Christ.
The following text shows we obtain Righteousness by the imputation of faith
Rom.4:3-6
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted (Gk. logizomai) unto him for righteousness.
(Note: Abraham believing God for Righteous is Abraham believing the reveal truths of God or the word of God for Righteousness, see Gen.15:3-6)
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned (Gk. logizomai) of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted (Gk. logizomai) for righteousness.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth (logizomai) righteousness without works,
Note: Impute does not mean to credit something to a place called an account like in banking. Impute simply means consider or to put things together in one's mind.
So the imputation of God's Righteousness actually gives you Righteousness. Hence the reason 1 John 3:7 tells us, "Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous." And 1John 2:29 tells us " If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him."
So my Dear facebook friends do meditate on these things with your bible and God will reveal the truth to you. Much love and peace in Jesus Holy name. Be truly Holy and Sinfree by the imputation of God's Righteousness through faith - the revealed truths in Jesus name. Amen.
