Jesus said this about the sermon on the mount
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
Matt 7:24-25
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
Matt 7:24-25
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine “will” and puts them into practice “does” them , is like a wise man who built his house on the Christ’s finished work of faith, who works in us and by His work of faith was His faith made perfect /complete.
It’s simply another way of recognizing a “imputed righteousness”, no man will be found with any righteousness coming from their own will. Its whoever hears His word of faith.... our spiritual food .
For it is God which worketh in you both to "will" and to "do" of his good pleasure. Phi 2:13
Another verse that can help us understand what imputed means. When Christ works in a believer to will and do His good pleasure. Remembering a person cannot separate faith from works. the faith below is in respect to the faith of Christ.
Having the proper name/authority connected to work and faith that was worked in Abraham not from Abraham
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Jam 2:20
If he was justified by His own works the work of Christ faith would be in vain and not establish the righteousness of Christ.
In the above verses both the faith and the works is accredited to Christ. See how Christ’s works made His faith perfect.
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto Jam 2:22
