The Most Amazing Grace

Nov 10, 2013 • Acts 7 continued

So, God makes an astonishing offer to all that are ungodly who will – by faith – repent and trust Christ alone for salvation. The Bible word for this incredible transaction is imputation.

Jesus gets what we deserve (God imputes our sin to Jesus and punishes Him):
Made sin and a curse for us
Put to grief and carried our sorrows
Stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted
Wounded for our transgressions
Bruised for our iniquities
Chastised for us
Took our stripes
Bare our iniquities
Travail of soul
Soul made an offering for our sin
Poured out his soul unto death
Numbered with the transgressors

We do not get what we deserve but instead we get what we do not deserve (God imputes His righteousness to us and saves us by His grace):
Saved from God’s wrath and eternal punishment in hell
Peace with God
Righteousness and eternal life
Jesus as Lord, God as Father, adoption, Heaven and eternity with our great God and Savior!!
