Christians are Blessed Because God is Not Counting our Sins - Michael Edwards
Many claim that Christians can only be blessed by God if they do not sin. But God states that the one who is blessed is the one “whom the Lord will not count his sin.”
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity… David in Psalm 32:1-2a ESV
“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.” Quote of David in Rom 4:7-8 ESV
Now if a person was not sinning, why would the Lord need to not count their sin? In these verses, King David is talking prophetically about a blessed person who does sin, and God does not count their sin. Who are these blessed people? You are one of them if you have placed your faith and trust in Jesus as Savior.
Not counting our sins is one of the biggest blessing’s God can give us.
Why is God not counting/imputing our sins?
The problem is not our sin. The forgiveness of our sins has been fully dealt with on the cross. The problem is our inherited Sin nature under Adam that leads to the inheritance of death.
Jesus came to save us from this inherited fallen Sin nature we received under Adam. He did not come to see if we can qualify to get into heaven. He came to qualify all who would trust in His righteousness. When we believe, we are born-again under Jesus, our past sins are forgiven, we are credited His righteousness, made right with God for past iniquities, become co-heirs with Christ of eternal life and are placed under grace where sin is not counted/imputed.
