What does Paul mean when he talks about the “blessedness” of a person in Romans 4:6-8?

Leave a Comment / christ-as-righteousness / By DavidBenjamininChrist

Learn about the blessedness of salvation, which refers to the state of being forgiven and having righteousness imputed to a person without works. This means that believers can rest assured in the forgiveness and inheritance that comes from believing in Jesus. Forgiveness not only grants access to eternal life, but it also qualifies believers to become heirs of God. Sin cannot keep a justified person from the blessings of God. According to Romans 3:26, the blessing of forgiveness also qualifies God to make believers heirs, so that He may be “just and the justifier of Him who believes in Jesus.” If you are seeking assurance of salvation, look no further than the grace of God, who justifies and forgives those who believe in Jesus.

Leave a Comment / christ-as-righteousness / By DavidBenjamininChrist

Learn about the Galatian Error in Christianity, which refers to a mixture of law and grace that emphasizes obedience to the law rather than trusting in Christ’s righteousness and justification by faith. The book of Galatians serves as both a warning against legalism and a defense of justification by faith. Characteristics of “Galatianized” Christianity include an emphasis on following rules and a de-emphasis on trusting in Christ’s righteousness. Examples of “Galatianized” Christianity include tithing and being a disciple in the sense of the synoptic Gospels. It is important to understand the dangers of legalism and the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice for true freedom in Christ.

What is true discipleship?

Leave a Comment / christ-as-righteousness / By DavidBenjamininChrist

True discipleship involves abiding in the Gospel and allowing it to work in and through us. It is not about following a legalistic set of rules, but rather about understanding and trusting in Christ as our righteousness, sanctification, and reward. Loving one another and recognizing our fellow believers as sons and daughters of God is also a crucial aspect of true discipleship. The Gospel is the source and foundation of true discipleship, and through it, we bear fruit and become fully assured in our relationship with Christ. By abiding in Him, we allow Him to settle down and make His home in our hearts, and we become part of Him, “bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh.” (John 4:14, John 7:37-38, John 8:32, 1 Corinthians 12:27)
