Römer 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.

Römer 4:8 In-Context

6 Nach welcher Weise auch David sagt, daß die Seligkeit sei allein des Menschen, welchem Gott zurechnet die Gerechtigkeit ohne Zutun der Werke, da er spricht:
7 "Selig sind die, welchen ihre Ungerechtigkeiten vergeben sind und welchen ihre Sünden bedeckt sind!
8 Selig ist der Mann, welchem Gott die Sünde nicht zurechnet!"
9 Nun diese Seligkeit, geht sie über die Beschnittenen oder auch über die Unbeschnittenen? Wir müssen ja sagen, daß Abraham sei sein Glaube zur Gerechtigkeit gerechnet.
10 Wie ist er ihm denn zugerechnet? Als er beschnitten oder als er unbeschnitten war? Nicht, als er beschnitten, sondern als er unbeschnitten war.
