The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

The Peace, Grace and Hope of Imputed Righteousness

     The imputed righteousness of Christ alone gives us peace.  It gives us peace because we trust in His death and resurrection.   His death and resurrection gives us assurance of salvation.
     The imputed righteousness of Christ alone gives us grace.  It gives us grace because of His good pleasure alone.  His good pleasure gives us hope that He will finish what He started. 
     The imputed righteousness of Christ alone gives us hope.  It gives us hope because of His life, death, burial and resurrection.  His work gives us an assured hope that we will get into heaven and be with Him forevermore.
    The imputed righteousness is the essence of grace alone and the essence of the work of Christ alone.  It gives us peace, grace and hope.  We can rest in it as all-sufficient to know God and fellowship with Him.
