Romanos 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.

Romanos 4:8 In-Context

6 David dice lo mismo cuando habla de la dicha de aquel a quien Dios le atribuye justicia sin la mediación de las obras:

7 «¡Dichosos aquellosa quienes se les perdonan las transgresionesy se les cubren los pecados!

8 ¡Dichoso aquelcuyo pecado el Señor no tomará en cuenta!»

9 ¿Acaso se ha reservado esta dicha solo para los que están circuncidados? ¿Acaso no es también para los gentiles? Hemos dicho que a Abraham se le tomó en cuenta la fe como justicia.

10 ¿Bajo qué circunstancias sucedió esto? ¿Fue antes o después de ser circuncidado? ¡Antes, y no después!
