Now let us look at the Word of GOD where imputation is necessary.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
To come to the Father,we have to go through Yeshua,So what is it I get by going through Yeshua.
1. Justification:
To be declared not guilty by one who has the power and authority to make this happen.
2.Righteousness:
There are two types of righteousness:
Self righteousness:
This type of righteousness is self dependant upon what any person is able to do,in order to make themselves right in the sight of GOD.
Christs righteousness:
Christa righteousness is completely foreign to us,for His righteousness is solely based upon who Yeshua is ,what He is like.
This is also based upon Yeshuas complete obedience upon the Fathers will.
Biblical examples of self righteousness:
The Pharisees
Jobs friends
Judas Iscariot
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon-Before being humbled
Saul of Tarsus-Before being humbled
3.Holiness:
Yeshuas holiness is completely different than any holiness any man,woman,or child could ever attain to.
His Holiness is based upon who He is and what He is like.
Yeshua did not attain unto holiness,for He is Holy other.
Some would say does not the Scriptures say that we are to be 'Holy' as GOD is holy.
Let us first look at this Scripture in the context and then make a determination what this Holiness/being holy looks like.
1Pe 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
1Pe 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
1Pe 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
1Pe 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
The call is unto Holiness,yet not one person can attain to this perfectly,this is the reason Yeshua has to impute His Holiness to me/us as believers.
4.Sanctification:
Yeshua is our Sanctification:
1Thess. 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
1Thess. 4:4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
There might be others,yet these are necessary for the believers to know who Yeshua is,what He is like.
These are allso necessary for the believers to know who they themselves are,and what they are like in this life.
