Are we really dead to sin.
\nThe word reckon is the same word that is translated impute or account.
\nThe sins of the elect were imputed to Christ. They became His. He became
\nguilty before God. He was actually made sin. And He really died for the
\nsins that had become His. He paid the debt of our sins. And just as
\ntruly as the sins of the elect were imputed to Him, His perfect
\nrighteousness is imputed to them. Just as literally as our sin became
\nHis, His righteousness became ours. We are literally \u201cthe righteousness
\nof God in Him.\u201d Since our sin was reckoned to Him, and His righteousness
\nreckoned to us, we reckon ourselves to be dead to sin, because we really
\nare! If He really died, then we really are dead to sin. If He really did
\nrise from the dead then we really are alive to God through our Lord
\nJesus Christ. We are not required to feel this, but we are required to
\nbelieve it! Todd Nibert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
