"キリストの聖さと完全な従順はこのようにして信者に帰属されました。"
— Jonathan Edwards
Simplified Meaning:
When people believe in Christ, it's like they receive his goodness and perfect behavior as if it were their own. Imagine if you had a friend who always did everything right and never made mistakes. If that friend could share his perfect record with you, making it look like you never made mistakes either, that’s what this means. In real life, if someone always follows the rules and then lets you take credit for it, your life might improve because authorities would treat you better. For believers, Christ's perfect life is credited to them, giving them a clean slate. They can live with the confidence that they are seen as good and pure because of their connection to Christ. This can inspire people to strive for a better life, knowing they have a fresh start.
