Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Imputation has an important place in
God
’s plan of
salvation
. “Blessed is the
man
unto whom the
Lord
imputeth not iniquity” (
Psa. 32:2
2
Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. (Psalm 32:2)
;
Rom. 4:8
8
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. (Romans 4:8)
). The sins of the man believing on
Jesus
are not imputed to him: Christ has atoned for them; the
believer
may come under
discipline
for them (compare
1 Cor. 11:31-32
31
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
32
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. (1 Corinthians 11:31‑32)
;
Hebrews 12:7
7
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? (Hebrews 12:7)
), but there is no imputation. On the contrary, he enters into the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes, or reckons,
righteousness
without
works
.
Abraham
believed God and it was reckoned (same word) to him as righteousness; and this is true of believers generally (
Rom. 4:3-4
3
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. (Romans 4:3‑4)
). Therefore not only are the believer’s sins not imputed to him; but he is accounted righteous.
In
2 Corinthians 5:19
19
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. (2 Corinthians 5:19)
the aspect in which Christ came to
earth
was that of
grace
. God was in Christ reconciling
the world
to Himself, and not imputing to men their offenses; but, alas, they refused the grace, and
put
Him to
death
. In
Romans 5:13
13
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. (Romans 5:13)
the word
is
ἐλλογέω
, “
sin
is not put to account when there is no
law
.” It
is
sin, and those that sin without law perish without law; but they are not at once called to account for it in God’s government (compare
Acts 17:30
30
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: (Acts 17:30)
).
