Hard Fought Hallelujah – Rom. 4:22-24 – UNDERSTANDING THE WORD ‘IMPUTED’

 

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.
