This is Namma for Christ with the two
hundred eighty-third inspirational message dated Sunday, February 23rd, 2025.
The title of this message is “Hard Fought Hallelujah – Rom. 4:22-24 –
UNDERSTANDING THE WORD ‘IMPUTED’”:
The first three words of this message’s
title are also the same three words in the
title of the below anointed song/video, “Hard Fought Hallelujah (with
lyrics)” as performed by Brandon Lake.
The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this
message) is from the twenty-second through the twenty-fourth verses of the fourth
chapter of Romans:
Romans 4:22-24
New King James Version - (NKJV)
22 And therefore “it was accounted
to him for righteousness.”
23 Now it was not written for his
sake alone that it was imputed to him, 24 but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who
believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,
The scripture text of “this”
message was taken from the “same” scripture text that I read on (February 18th,
2025) in my daily devotional book entitled:
“The Word for You Today”.
The inspirational message I read on February 18th,
2025, was titled – “UNDERSTANDING THE WORD ‘IMPUTED’”. I knew that it was a reminder that I wanted to share in my next message in
my “Namma for Christ” blog. I hope you find (some of
the excerpts) as inspirational as I did:
UNDERSTANDING THE WORD “IMPUTED”
Romans 4:22-24
Picture a transfer of
funds from one account to another. Banks do it every day. Now imagine yourself
destitute and unable to pay your debts. Then in an astounding act of grace,
someone assumes all your debts and then transfers to your account such
abundance that you never have to work or worry for the rest of your life.
That’s what happened at the cross when God imputed to Jesus all your sins from
the cradle to the grave and imputed all His righteousness to you. Mind-blowing
isn’t it? Would you say, “No thanks, I believe in paying my own way?” Would you
say, “I can’t allow you to do everything while I do nothing, so I’ll work for
the rest on my life to prove myself worthy of your love and grace”? Salvation
is like health food that’s labeled “no man-made additives”. Understand
this: The righteousness required for
getting into heaven is not about behaving the right way, but believing the right way. You say, “But I
feel such guilt when I sin.” You’re supposed to! Your new nature is reacting to
sin just as your body does to food poisoning. Your boundaries have been
violated and your regenerate spirit is saying that you can’t indulge in that
anymore; it’s not who you are! Why did God arrange the plan of salvation in
this way? Because any righteousness we could achieve falls far short of His
standard. He actually calls it “filthy rags.” Understand this: Your rewards in
heaven are based upon your behavior but getting into heaven is based on
trusting in Christ alone.
I pray that you have
enjoyed the above message and I pray that you will enjoy the accompanied song.
