Romans 4:8 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 4:8

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
] As he does not to those whom he justifies in Christ, and by his righteousness; for the sins of such he has imputed to his Son, as their surety; and he has bore them, took them away, having made full satisfaction for them; so that these persons will never be charged with them: they now appear before the throne without fault, and are blameless and irreproveable in the sight of God, and therefore must be eternally happy; for he will never think of their sins any more to their hurt; he will remember them no more; he "will never reckon them to them", but acquit them from them, justify and accept them; wherefore they must be secure from wrath and condemnation, enjoy much peace and comfort now, and be happy hereafter.

Romans 4:8 In-Context

6 In the same way, the blessing which David pronounces is on those whom God credits with righteousness apart from legalistic observances:

7 "Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered over;

8 Blessed is the man whose sin ADONAI will not reckon against his account."

9 Now is this blessing for the circumcised only? Or is it also for the uncircumcised? For we say that Avraham's trust was credited to his account as righteousness;

10 but what state was he in when it was so credited - circumcision or uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision!
