Thanks Raider- what does John 3:17 mean? It means that the whole world is already living in a state of condemnation, and that the purpose of the Incarnation of the Son of God, was to translate as many of us as are willing, out of that state of condemnation into a new state of Right Standing with God, of course all due to John 3:14-16.
Yes . That is called, colloquially, “ imputed righteousness” from the atoning sacrifice of God’s Son through propitiation, in my reading. I hope things are going well. I won’t bother you any more today.
