Subject: Counted for Me in His Obedience |
Bible Note: "I think the temptation for some Christians today is to say, 'Of course Jesus perfectly fulfilled the law, but that was just to qualify Him to die on the cross.' They don't see that His perfection is of course qualifying for His sacrifice to be perfect on the cross. It's much more than that. "People don't really think through that if all He did was take away sin, then all we are is a bunch of zeroes and that leads very easily into the kind of preaching that says, 'Christ has taken away your sin and now it's up to you to start building up some positive righteousness.' "Instead, the glorious gospel is, not only did He take away all my sins but He reckons to me the full perfection of His holy life, so that not only do I have nothing counted against me but I have everything imaginable counted for me in His obedience." --Robert Godfrey |
