Romans 4
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
The words impute or imputed are used five times in this chapter. God imputes sin to Jesus. God then imputes righteousness to man.
We don't sing about imputation in my church. And I don't remember ever hearing the word used in preaching.
Webster 1828 Impute
To charge; to attribute; to set to the account of; generally ill, sometimes good. We impute crimes,sins, trespasses, faults, blame, &c., to the guilty persons. We impute wrong actions to bad motives, or to ignorance, or to folly and rashness. We impute misfortunes and miscarriages to imprudence.
One of building blocks of strong faith is ever increasing knowledge of God, in all of his intricate, complicated glory.
Colossians 1
9 ....we....pray....
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Next lesson, propitiation....
