CHRISTIANS ARE BLESSED

Christians are Blessed 

Because God is Not Counting our Sins

I am against sin. Sin kills, steals and destroys and is not where any believer wants to hang out. 

But an incorrect belief about how God sees and has dealt with our sin is very damaging, leading to guilt and condemnation. 

The truth believed is the only thing that sets us free. 

There is no condemnation in Christ.

Many claim that Christians can only be blessed by God if they do not sin. But God states that the one who is blessed is the one “whom the Lord will not count his sin.”

“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.” Rom 4:7-8 - Quote of Psalm 32:1-2 ESV

Now if a person was not sinning, why would the Lord need to not count their sin? 

In these verses, King David is talking prophetically about a blessed person who does sin, and God does not count their sin. Who are these blessed people? 

You are one of them if you have placed your faith and trust in Jesus as Savior.

Not counting our sins is one of the biggest blessing’s God can give us.

Why is God not counting/imputing our sins?

The problem is not our sin. 

The forgiveness of our sins has been fully dealt with on the cross. 

The problem is our inherited Sin nature under Adam that leads to the inheritance of death.

Jesus came to save us from this inherited fallen Sin nature we received under Adam. He did not come to see if we can qualify to get into heaven. 

He came to fully qualify all who would trust in His righteousness. 

When we believe, we are born-again under Jesus, our past sins are forgiven, we are credited with His righteousness, made right with God for past iniquities, become co-heirs with Christ of eternal life and are placed under grace where sin is not counted/imputed.

Sin is not imputed when there is no law. Rom 5:13b NAS

While all the above is True, it is the Word of God, however,

This is also  True:

No one who lives in Him keeps on Sinning.

No one who continues to Sin 

Has either seen Him or known Him.

(1 John 3:6)
