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!
