Subject: How do I make sense of the context? |
Bible Note: Hank, it's me again... just wondering if my thinking is correct here... Adam's sin is imputed to all of us right? So we are all guilty even before we commit specific acts of sin...correct? (To some, this might seem unfair), But THANK GOD!!! it's not, because our salvation works the same way, doesn't it? Believer's sins are also forgiven by imputation. God held Jesus accountable for ALL our sins (repented of, and not repented of)... (just like he used to find us guilty of sins committed and not committed). That seems "fair" to me! The reason God wants us to repent of sins, is so that we realize we have sinned and learn from our mistakes...right? |
