Romans 4:7 NIV “Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
Just like the scapegoat on Yom Kippur (Leviticus 16:22 NIV The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a remote place; and the man shall release it in the wilderness.)This is taking the sins on itself just as Jesus bore out sins once and for all time for you and me on the cross. Abraham did not work for his salvation; he simply trusted God's word. It was Jesus Christ who did the work on the cross, and His righteousness was put on Abraham's account. (Justify; just as if I never sinned.) The old Testament judge was commanded to "justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked" (Deut 25:1). But God justifies the ungodly - because there are no godly for Him to justify. (Romans 3:24 NIV and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.) "sins are covered." Ezekiel 18:27 NIV But if a wicked person turns away from the wickedness they have committed and does what is just and right, they will save their life." (Confession of sin.)
