Imputed Righteousness

You:
We don't have righteousness until the Lord gives us a new heart
of flesh and puts His Spirit in us. Then we are Holy and can walk
in His statutes.
Me:
Ummm... That's what I said. ;-D My contention was with the statement that
JESUS' righteousness was imputed to us. If this were true, then once His
righteousness, His perfect righteousness that is above question was put in
us, we would be forever perfect just like Him: We could not sin. Like I
said, that is the whole corner stone of the "once saved, always saved"
heresy. It goes like this:
Faith in Christ leads to deeds in Christ leads to justification by Christ
leads to conformity to Christ leads to leave with Christ....
You:
I love you Bro. Tim.
Me:
And I love you too, friend.
You can't offend me. I know your heart is always in the right place! ;-)
Luke 6:26
