Where do I stand?

Where do I stand?
Charles Pennington

I believe and preach, on the authority of the Word of God, that the new birth is a divine work according to the will and purpose of the Father, through the merit of the Son, performed by the Holy Spirit through the means of the preaching of the gospel. The character of the new birth is a creation work of God whereby; spiritual life is given to dead sinners, a new man is created in righteousness and true holiness, Christ is formed in that person and that person in Christ, and that person is made a partaker of the divine nature. We often refer to this as “Imparted Righteousness”. All who preach this are accused of preaching false doctrine. (Strange that those who make the accusation once preached the same thing! --- Who hath bewitched you?)

They say, “the term is not in Scripture”. True. But then neither is “substitution” or “sovereign grace”! Will they deny these truths also. They present their case as if imparted righteousness somehow makes void the imputation of righteousness. Not so! (That is their own postulation.) The one is the result of the other. Where the one is, the other inevitably follows. When Adam sinned he died spiritually, and his sin was imputed to all who were in him. He then begat children in his own image. His sin was imputed to them, then in natural generation a sin nature was imparted to them. Even so our Lord. His righteousness is imputed to all who were in Him. Thus He begets children in His image, spiritual children who have a righteous and holy nature. His righteousness is imputed to them in justification and imparted to them in regeneration (the new birth).

Concerning this issue some are indifferent, some are troubled, and the faith (professed) of some has been overthrown. Do not be deceived. This is that point of the gospel which is at present undergoing the most fierce attack. Consider that if the new birth is not the creation of a new man, then it must be a reformation of the old man; if it is not the creation of a spiritual man, then man is not spiritually dead; if it is not righteousness imparted (even though imputed) then man is able to produce his own righteousness and sanctification. You must then conclude that man by nature is not dead in trespasses and sins. If that be so, God’s unconditional election unto salvation is a myth, the obedience and death of Christ is a help at best, the work of the Holy Spirit is unnecessary, and the perseverance and preservation of the saints a fairy tale. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
