It is imputed on our accounts by faith and conferred on us. By the same token our righteousness is worked out in us as we yield ourself to God and identify with Him. It is recognizing that our old self has died with Christ and we were raised up to walk in His righteousness. It is saying that our new righteous nature produces new righteous actions. This is not double talk; it is truth. 4 hours ago, JTC said: This is an excellent example of double talk. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't pick & choose what to believe so I can have some fun. There seems to be by what you say a misunderstanding about saving grace. When we are born of the Spirit, we are given a new nature, a spiritual nature. A new heart. This is called the New Covenant...we are no longer under the Old Covenant. So now our good works flow out of a desire in our hearts to live the Christian Life. It is a new and living way....life in the Spirit. Perhaps the following will help.... This devotional from Daily Blessings explains so well about the grace of God so thought I would share it. “You will subdue our iniquities; and will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.” - Mic 7:19 Sin subdued is the next greatest blessing to sin pardoned; and wherever God pardons sin, he subdues sin; for the same grace which saves sanctifies; the same grace which casts sin behind God’s back, puts its foot upon the corruptions of the believer, and prevents iniquity from having dominion over him. The Scripture is very plain and express upon this point. “Sin shall not have dominion over you.” Why? “Because you are not under the law,” which gives sin its strength and power, “but under grace,” which is able to subdue its dominion. Nor do I believe that any child of God can ever rest satisfied except by the subduing of his sins as well as the pardoning of them. To have his unbelief, infidelity, worldly-mindedness, pride, and covetousness subdued by the grace of God, its power taken out of it, its dominion dethroned, its authority destroyed, and its strength weakened and diminished, that he may not be under the dominion of any lust, or carried away by the strength of any secret or open sin, but may walk before God in the light of his countenance, as desirous to know his will and do it—this is the desire and breathing of every one that knows sin in its guilt, filth, and power. How gracious, then, is the promise, how sweet the favor, that the Lord has promised to subdue our iniquities by the same grace as that whereby he pardons them; that, as we receive the blood of Christ to sprinkle the conscience, so we receive the grace of Christ to sanctify and renew the soul, and the strength of Christ to overcome all our inward and outward foes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
