I AM

I AM : M. M. Ninan
The righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the
wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the
throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the
book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as
recorded in the books.
But there is a law higher than that wherein the evil that one man
does affects others, so also the good that one man does will affect
others. We all know that. We all experience that every day in our
life. Evil men create havoc in society and the community as a whole
suffers because of their evil life. Similarly the community as a
whole gains from the good deed of those unselfish great men.
These great men are able to alleviate the suffering due to their
karma by their righteous deeds. This is where the sacrifice and
substitution comes in. Jesus took our Karma upon himself.
Isa 53:4-6 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet
we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he
was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the
punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we
are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to
his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Only Jesus could take away the karma of every person because he
took the evil karma and its consequences upon himself. There had
been many godmen in this world. But none could take the karma of
others fully upon themselves. Only Jesus could promise that. This
is what the Bible refers to as imputed righteousness.
Rom 4:5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who
justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
