How was David counted righteous?

Posted

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Romans 4:6-8

David, in Psalm 32, speaks of the blessed state of one who has forgiveness of sins through faith in God’s promises, whose sins are covered by the shed blood of Jesus, our Messiah and Savior. When we repent of our sins and turn in faith to the LORD God for mercy, He is gracious to us and forgives all our sins for the sake of Christ’s atoning sacrifice on the cross.

I acknowledge my sinfulness unto You, O Lord. Graciously forgive my sins for the sake of Christ Jesus and His innocent sufferings and death in my stead. Amen.

[Scripture is quoted from the King James Version of the Bible.]
