The Lord is awe-inspiring, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him in Psalm 32:1-2,
"Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit."
"Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit."
Paul quotes this comment of David in Romans 4:7-8. There in Romans Paul makes the point that a good standing with God, that is, "justification" or "righteousness" does not come by keeping the law. He looks to Abraham as the model of how God has chosen that all who will embrace him in the faith Abraham did will be credited with righteousness and will be justified. Paul quotes Genesis 15:6, "Abraham believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness."
How wonderful my salvation is not based on my performance. How wonderful I don't have to do anything to receive salvation from God's wrath and have a place in his family for all eternity but believe in him! Just as Abraham was credited with righteousness for his faith, so am I. Enough cannot be said about this! What a cause for praise and worship of God!
