“Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin” (Romans 4:8).
Unlike under the law, God no longer holds our sins against us; He charged them against Jesus when He went to the cross. God now sees believers as innocent and blameless, regardless of our actions.
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree” (Galatians 3:13).
To be redeemed means to be freed and delivered. After Jesus’ death and resurrection, we’re blessed not because of our actions, but because we’re God’s redeemed, and we now belong to Him.
“Look, today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse! You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today. But you will be cursed if you reject the commands of the Lord your God and turn away from him and worship gods you have not known before” (Deuteronomy 11:26-28, NLT).
Much has changed since the Old-Testament covenant of the law was in force. Under the New-Testament covenant of grace, curses have been replaced by blessings. Neither does God punish people anymore.
“Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ” (Colossians 2:8, NLT).
Religion can fool us. It’s dangerous to blindly accept philosophies taught in church if they aren’t scripturally based.
“There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord” (Proverbs 21:30, NIV).
God is the author of eternal wisdom, but this simple truth escapes the world. Any philosophy that contradicts His Word is wrong, and anyone using that philosophy to make plans or try to gain insight independently of Him will surely fail.
