Present tense

This is awesome. It actually says in verse 4 that if anyone tries to work for righteousness it is seen as debt and not grace! ("Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.")

Romans 4:7-8:

7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered;

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”

I really don't know how people don't get that the grace message does not preach sin but freedom from sin. The teaching by Andrew Wommack's really helped me to understand it better: 'Spirit, Soul & Body'.
