Why Is Faith Counted As Righteousness (Ro 4:5)?

Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. (James 5:9)

I've asked you over and over and over to post on topic.
You've admitted that you're not on topic.
Quit doing things that are inappropriate so that your brother will not have a reason to grudge.

 

[Behold]

Reader,

A sinner, = (everyone) has nothing to offer God, that God can accept to accept you and me.

= """All have sinned, there is non righteous, no not one""'...

A.) So, God offers Jesus as His complete Acceptance of Us., as the : '"one time eternal Sacrifice for our sin".

Why "for our sin" ??

Because its our sin that separates us from God, .... and once this is resolved by The Cross of Christ... as Jesus dying for all our sin, so that we are can be eternally forgiven, .. then God now has in place the eternal substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus "dying for us".

So, this is the Salvation of God, whereby a SINNER can be received into God's family, and into God Himself as born again as "one with God' solely on the merit of the finished work of Jesus on The Cross.

Jesus on The Cross explained this as... "it is Finished"., and HE is "It"... our Salvation, or Forgiveness, our Justification, and our Eternal life, and our Resurrection".

So, this acceptance of Christ's sacrifice as our Salvation, is "The FREE Gift of Salvation".

Heretics do not want God's eternal "gift of Salvation" to be Free, so they dispute it, deny it, and redefine it as "you must do THIS... also, and you must also be careful not to do THAT, and then if you do all this and that, then maybe you'll make it into heaven after you die... ... possibly".

However TRUTH that is real Faith understands that that : JESUS is Salvation, and that is why "in Christ alone we place our Trust", and "our FAITH is counted by God" and God then receives us, forgives us, and establishes us forever as washed in the Blood of Jesus, and "made righteous".. having received "the Gift of Righteousness"".


Notice....: John 14:6..

Jesus said....>>"no person comes to the Father, but by ME".... and that is the NT explaining Jesus dying on The Cross for ALL our Sin, which allows God to eternally forgive us, eternally reclaim us as His, and give us the new birth in the Spirit, as a "new Creation in Christ'"..

A.) Thank you : JESUS

I'm on topic this time, and you know it. Just like Paul says in Gal 3: 6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Oh I'm on topic alright!

 

[bro.tan]

You just admitted you're not on topic--you're not disagreeing, and you're definitely not agreeing, you're just posting another point.

Do not share your unrelated thoughts here. To do that, go publish your own thread. When you reply to a thread, you engage with topic which was raised by the OP, or else you're off topic.

You are off topic, and you are spreading misunderstanding, so, no, I won't be quiet.

I advise you to make your own threads where you can share your perspectives, not dump your own thoughts on others' threads when they're not on topic.

Show me how I'm off topic and I'm talking about faith and righteousness too! Prove it!

Cite what you agree or disagree with in the OP, and respond to it.

What you have done is you have ADDED to what I have said, as if I meant "faith alone", and then argued against that as if you were arguing against something I'd said--I have unremittingly argued against "faith alone".

I'm sure you would not appreciate people misrepresenting you, so why are you doing it to me?

Why is faith counted as righteousness. ????

Its because a sinner, and "all have sinned, there is none righteous, no not one"........has no righteousness to offer God.

So, How does God, who is Righteousness itself, come into UNION, spiritual and eternal union,.... with an unrighteous sinner?

A.) The Cross of Christ.

This is where Holy Righteous God, meets the sinner with Christ's Blood and death, that resolves all our SIN.

And now, once YOUR SIN has been resolved by Christ's Blood and Death.........God will spiritually birth you into a "new creation in Christ" by giving your spirit a new BIRTH... (born again) into HIMSELF.... As to be born again, is to have been birthed by God's Holy Spirit into God Himself "who is a Spirit".

Reader, ..... because we have no righteousness of our own to offer God....., God has created a WAY that we can receive HIS very own righteousness, as "the GIFT of Righteousness".

How?

AA.) When you give God your FAITH in Christ, God takes your faith and accepts it , and based on your faith in Christ, God then GIVES you.. "the Gift of Righteousness", after God deals with all your sin, through the Cross of Christ.

So, the GRACE of God... is that you are receiving His Righteousness, as a GIFT, undeserved, and provided to you for FREE, based only on what Jesus has accomplished for you, on THE CROSS.. 2000 yrs ago.
What Jesus has "finished" On the Cross, 2000 yrs ago, is still saving sinners, TOMORROW and FOREVER.

See that MERCY?
See that Amazing Grace?

Welcome to : SALVATION.

God provides it as : "THE GIFT.... of Salvation"... who is CHRIST The Lord.

Jesus is your Salvation.
Jesus is your Eternal Life.
Jesus is your Resurrection.
Jesus is your ETERNAL Pardon... eternal Forgiveness.

Hallelujah !

You can't earn it... You can only have it for Free... because you RECEIVE IT as a Gift from God.... instantly, when you give God your Faith in Christ.

Reader....
if you have never done this...and you understand now.... then Trust in Christ and God will save you, forgive you, and bring you into His eternal family, and you can KNOW right NOW.....= that when you die you will only meet God in eternity as your Father, and not as your eternal Judge.
Get that settled today, Reader,.. get your Eternity settled TODAY...... if you've not yet settled it, and you realize you need to do it...
Don't wait, as nothing is more important.

"All who call on Jesus shall be saved".. "as many as Receive Jesus by Faith.. God gives to YOU the power to become a Son/Daughter of God".

That is God's promise to you.

You Take Christ by Faith, and God takes you forever.
That's God's promise.
