HOW MEN ARE RECONCILED
TO GOD
1. God has made a way for men to
become righteous
For just as through the disobedience of
the one man the many were made sinners, so
also through the obedience of the one man the
many will be made righteous . Rom. 5:19
2. God has made a way for men to
become as righteous as He is
THE THREE IMPUTATIONS
Adam’s Sin to the world
For since death came through a man, the
resurrection of the dead comes also through a
man. 22 For as in Adam all die…
I Cor. 15:21,22
The World’s Sin to Jesus
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of
us has turned to his own way; and the LORD
has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Is. 53:6
Jesus’ Righteousness to Us
God made him who had no sin to be sin
for us, so that in him we might become the
righteousness of God. II Cor. 5:21
