Title: 1. The Blessed man, 2. Righteousness apart from works
1. How does God declare the ungodly to be righteous?
2. First, they are the ungodly, strangers to righteousness and unable to be righteous of themselves.
3. The righteousness of salvation can only be freely credited to the account of the ungodly.
4. This is what happened to Abraham. This is how Abraham was pronounced as righteous, a righteousness apart from works.
5. But this was not true for Abraham alone. This was true for David. Abraham and David were very important figures in the history of national Israel and held in the highest esteem.
6. And Paul draws them and says-they were righteous only by way of IMPUTATION OF GOD'S RIGHTEUOSNESS.
7. The were righteous by faith and not works.
8. They were righteous because God did not IMPUTE SIN TO THEM.
9. And that is the foundation of the glorious gospel of God's free and sovereign grace.
10. And if you should be called righteous, justified before God, it will not happen apart from the free imputation of Christ's righteousness.
