The Forty Things Imputed To A Believer At Salvation

 

The Forty Things A Believer Is Imputed With At Salvation:

When a person accepts the grace gift of salvation through faith alone in Christ alone, God the Holy Spirit not only imputes salvation, but 39 irrevocable assets and one revocable (but recoverable) asset to the new believer:

1. The believer resides in the eternal plan of God and shares the destiny of Christ. He is:

A.           Foreknown (Acts 2:23; Rom. 8:29; 1 Pet. 1:2).

B.           Elected (Rom. 8:33; Col. 3:12; 1 Thess. 1:4; Titus 1:1; 1 Pet. 1:2).

C.           Predestined (Rom. 8:29-30; Eph. 1:5,11).

D.           Chosen (Matt. 22:14; 1 Pet. 2:4).

E.           Called (1 Thess. 5:24).

2. The believer is reconciled (removal of the barrier between man and God caused by the imputation of the sin nature at birth and the resultant spiritual death):

A.           By God (2 Cor. 5:18-19; Col. 1:20).

B.           To God (Rom. 5:10; 2 Cor. 5:20; Eph. 2:14-17).

3. The believer is redeemed, purchased from the slave market of sin (Rom. 3:24; Col. 1:14; 1 Pet. 1:18).

4. The believer’s condemnation, or eternal judgment, is removed (John 3:18; 5:24; Rom. 8:1).

5. The substitutionary spiritual death of the humanity of Christ on the cross paid the penalty for all sins (Rom. 4:25; Eph. 1:7; 1 Pet. 2:24).

6. Every believer received propitiation for sins; God is satisfied with the work of His Son (Rom. 3:25-26; 1 John 2:2; 4:10).

7. The believer is dead to old life, the sin nature, but alive to God, (retroactive positional truth: Although salvation does not get rid of the sin nature, for that is only accomplished through the death of the body and the receiving of the believer’s resurrection body, the believer’s sin nature is no longer considered by God. God therefore no longer considers the believer spiritually dead, but spiritually alive.) The believer is:

A.           Crucified with Christ (Rom 6:6; Gal. 2:20).

B.           Dead with Christ (Rom 6:8; Col. 3:3; 1 Pet. 2:24).

C.           Buried with Christ (Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12).

D.           Raised with Christ (current positional truth) (Rom. 6:4; 7:4; Col. 2:12; 3:1).

8. The believer is free from the Mosaic Law. He is:

A.           Dead to the Law (Rom 7:4).

B.           Delivered (Rom. 6:14; 7:6; 2 Cor. 3:6-11; Gal. 3:25).

9. The believer is regenerated (John 13:10; 1 Cor. 6:11; Titus 3:5). He is:

B.           A child of God (Rom. 8:16; Gal. 3:26).

C.           A son of God (John 1:12; 2 Cor. 6:18; 1 John 3:2).

D.           A new creation (2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15; Eph. 2:10).

10. The believer is adopted by God and placed as an adult child because of positional truth (Rom. 5:15, 23 at resurrection; Eph. 1:5).

11. The believer is made acceptable to God (Eph. 1:6; 1 Pet. 2:5). He is:

A.           Made righteous by imputation (Rom. 3:22; 1 Cor. 1:30; 2 Cor. 5:21; Phil. 3:9).

B.           Sanctified positionally (1 Cor. 1:30; 6:11).

C.           Perfected forever (Heb. 10:14).
