Topic Video: The Imputation Of Our Sin

“Imputation” simply means “assignment” or “reckoning.” But when we speak about the imputation of our sin to Jesus on the cross, we’re referring to the act in which God assigned the guilt of sinners to the person of Jesus.

In continuity with the patterns of Old Testament sin offerings, Jesus offered himself on the cross as a substitute for his people. The book of Hebrews speaks of this extensively in chapters 9 and 10. Christ’s role as our substitute is reflected in the fact that the Bible often refers to him as our sacrifice, and it’s also why he’s called our ransom. Before our sin was imputed to him, Jesus was blameless and perfect. But as strange as it may sound, once our sin was reckoned to his account, God viewed him as being guilty of all the sins that were assigned to him. So, when we say that our sin was imputed to Jesus, we mean that God blamed him for our sins. Jesus never actually sinned, and his person was never corrupted by sin. But from a legal perspective, God counted Jesus as if he had personally committed every sin imputed to him. This is what Paul was talking about in 2 Corinthians 5:21 when he said: God made him who had no sin to be sin for us. Before God laid our guilt on him, Jesus couldn’t die. But once our sin was imputed to him on the cross, his death became not only possible but necessary. It was the only just response God could make to such tremendous guilt. When we start to ask a question such as this, “Would it be just, would it be fair, would it be righteous for God to impute our sin to Christ?” Well, we tend to go to a human law court and think, “Would we impute someone else’s guilt in a murder case to someone who didn’t commit the murder?” The answer would be, “No.” From a human scale of justice that would be wrong. But the first thing we know about God’s justice is that it’s perfect, and so, because he is perfect, we know that whatever he does is right. But, you know, the Bible actually tells us why it’s right. Now, for instance, if God had just chosen someone random, and had just arbitrarily imputed my guilt to him, that wouldn’t be fair, that wouldn’t be just. That wouldn’t meet God’s own standard of righteousness. But what if before humanity was ever created God determined to redeem sinful humanity through his own Son, the only one who actually could bear our sin and make atonement for our sin because of his perfect righteousness, his perfect obedience? And what if this wasn’t an arbitrary assignment, an unwilling assignment to someone who simply was told, “You’re gonna have to bear the sin.” What if Jesus said in the Gospels, “No one takes my life from me, but I lay down my life willingly for my sheep.” Then you come to understand that the justice of God is never more perfectly displayed than in his perfect plan to redeem sinful humanity through his own Son, who would willingly give his own life and would bear our sin in order that we might have peace with God. God’s justice is perfect. Never more perfect than in the picture of what happens on the cross.”
