THE GREAT IMPUTATION By Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.
"For in Him we live, and move, and have our being, as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring." (Acts 17:28);
"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through Death He might Destroy him that had the power of death that is the Devil; And Deliver them who through death were all their lifetime subject to bondage,(Heb.2:14,15)
Jesus Christ's vicarious death on our behalf defeated Satan and delivered us from his evil power over us forever. His Resurrection from the dead purchased our justification!
The Bible says: "And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous: And He is the propitiation (mercy seat, satisfaction, covering) for our sins only, but for the sins of the whole world." (1 John 2:1,2)
The Doctrine of Imputation: We gave Him our sins and He gave us His Righteousness! Jesus took our place on the cross and we are accepted by God the Father as His sons! The Word states: "For we are made Partakers with Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence (Faith) steadfast until the end." (Hebrews 3:14)
It was on the Cross that Christ became the 'SIN OFFERING' and we are thereby been made the "righteousness of God in Him' .(2 Cor 5:21)."For Christ also hath Once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to Death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit." (1 Peter 3: 18)
