IMPUTE: Means - To Number Among ROM 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Many today “wrest” or “torture” Paul’s words to their own destruction. 2PET 3:16 As also in all his (Paul)epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Roman’s 4:6 is a passage that is often “tortured”. They believe that the word “impute” means to “inject” with something. Sort of like and IV you would get at the hospital. In other words, they believe that they are “injected” with a substance called “righteousness” so that God no longer sees them as the sinners they are. They believe the sins they are committing right now, are invisible and cannot be seen through this “injection” of this substance they have been given. Since they likely already believe in “Sin Nature” and believe that “SIN” is also a substance or a disease they were born with, it is not hard for them to make the transition into believing they need this “injection” of righteousness, so they can go on now, sinning in peace, and still enter Eternal life when they die. They believe that by saying some magic words, or making some mental assent and say “I BELIEVE”, that they have now have received this mysterious “injection” or righteousness, and can now sin with impunity and their sins are now invisible. This is a child’s fable. This is all a demonic lie from the pit of hell. It is childish and foolish. They have turned the grace of God into Lasciviousness. ------------------------------------------------- IMPUTE means to accredit, consider, or “count as” or “be counted among”. Or be numbered among. ROM 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Roman’s 4:8 is saying to us “blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven.” No longer “counted against” him. Now, no longer considered. ROM 4:7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Impute means forgiveness. Paul was quoting from David in Psalm 32 bitter repentance PS 32:1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. PS 32:2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. God doesn’t count sin against a person in whose spirit there is no guile. A penitent heart. A penitent heart, bringing forth fruits worthy of repentance shown by deeds of remorse through faith working by love. The forgiveness is for PAST SINS. ROM 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 2PET 1:9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
