,"",Imputation is the reckoning to a person the consequences of another�s act. For example, the consequences of Adam�s sin are reckoned to his descendants.

,"",Christ expiated our guilt, satisfied the law, both by obedience and suffering, and became our substitute, so that being united with Him by faith, His death becomes our death, His righteousness our righteousness, His obedience our obedience.

,"",E. The Means of Justification � Faith ,"",E. Vyombo vy kuhesabuliwa kuwa haki � Imani ,,

,"",Justification is by faith. Since the law cannot justify, man�s only hope is for a “righteousness without the law” (Rom. 3:21). This is not an unlawful unrighteousness, or a religion that permits us to sin, but is justification that changes our position with God based on the merits of Christ. This is the “righteousness of God” (a righteousness which God imparts), and it is a gift because man lacks the power to develop it or work it out. (Eph. 2:8-10) The three operations of faith are as follows:,"","Kuhesabuliwa kuwahaki ni kwa imani. Kwa sababu sheria haiwezi kuhesabu kuwa haki, taraja tu ya mtu ni “Haki bila shema” (warumi 3:21). Hiyo siyo kutokuwa haki bila kutokea kwa sheria, ao dini ambayo imetujuzu to tenda dhambi, lakini ni kuhesabuliwa kwoa haki ambao kumebadili uamuzi wetu na Mungu yenye kuketi juu ya staha ya kristo. Hiyo ndiyo “Haki ya Mungu” (Haki ambao Mungu ametolea), na imekuwa kipawa kwa sababu mtu amekosa mamlaka ya kuikomalisha ao kuitimiza. (waefeso 2:8-10). Kazi matatu ya imani ni hiyi ifwatayo: ",,

,"",Galatians 2:16—Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.�,"","Wagalatia 2:16—Hali tukijua ya kuwa mwanadamu hahesabiwi haki kwa matendo ya sheria, bali kwa imani ya kristo yesu, sisi tulimuwamini kristo Yesu ili kuhesabiwe haki kwa imani ya kristo, wala si kwa matendo ya sheria; maana kwa matendo ya sheria hatuna mwenye mwili atakayehesabiwa haki. ",,

,"",Faith is the hand, so to speak, which takes what God offers. Faith is the instrumental cause of justification. Rom. 3:22; 4:11; 9:30; Heb. 11:7; Phil. 3:9 Faith lays hold of God�s promise and appropriates salvation.,"",,,

Faith involves the will and is connected with all good choices and actions. (Rom. 14:23) Faith includes the choice and pursuit of the truth. ( II Thess. 2:12) Faith implies subjection to the righteousness of God. ( Rom. 10:3) ,"","Ni hivyo, imani ni mila yenye nguvu; na hali ya kuwa tayari kwa kupokea.
