God imputes righteousness to those who believe His Word concerning Jesus, His Son, being an offering for our sin, and Him [Christ] being raised from the dead for our justification. To be justified is the same as being pronounced not guilty in a court of law. Those who believe in Christ HAVE eternal life.
[Abraham was] “fully convinced that what He [God] had promised He [God] was also able to perform. And therefore it [his faith] was accounted to him for righteousness. Now it [this divine message] was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, but also for us. It [righteousness] shall be imputed to us who believe in Him [God] who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.” [1]
“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.’” [2]
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” [3]
Praise God for blessed assurances of salvation for us who believe in Jesus!

21st Century Jeremiah is a publishing site that is managed and operated by Mark Czanderna for the expressed purpose to provide for you free Bible-based and Christ-exalting resources. My goal is to align myself with the prophetic words of God as carefully and accurately as Jeremiah the prophet did in his day, but include the additional revelations that the Lord Jesus Christ provided for us in the Gospels, the Book of Acts, the Epistles of the Apostles and the Book of Revelation.
