Bible Note: I realize this is an old post, but I have to correct something you've said here, you wrote: "Counted as rightous is not the same as being rightous." You are mistaken. The word means counted or credited. It calls to mind an account, with debits and credits. To Abraham's account, was credited righteousness. On the basis of His faith, not works, God counted Him righteous. The only reason this could be possible was because of Jesus Christ. Hebrews 9 says, "15 Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred which redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant." Jesus death is not only for those committed on this side of the cross, but it also reaches back to save those faithful who lived before the cross. |
