Rom 4:11
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

Rom 4:22-24
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

Rom 5:13
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Jas 2:23
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

The Romans 4 passage speaks of Abraham.

James 2 is a synopsis of what happened to Abraham.

Abraham believed God.
Because of this, righteousness was imputed to him.
He was called a Friend of God.

We have a choice.

We can continue to live in the sin imputed to us due the rebellion of man….

Or…

We can believe the Word and Deed of the Lord and allow Him to impute righteousness to us.

Choose ye this day.
