The Blessing of Righteousness by Faith

THE faith of Abraham brings the blessing of Abraham. This is the blessing of being reckoned righteous apart from works—the forgiveness of sin. “Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works, saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not reckon sin.” The mission of Christ is to bestow this blessing: “Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. Unto you first God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.” This is the blessing of righteousness by faith.
