‏ Romans 4:6-8

v. 6–8: To further explain, Paul quotes David from the Psalms: Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin (Psalm 32:1-2; Romans 4:6-8 ^a). David describes the happiness of being forgiven by God. This forgiveness is not earned but freely given by God’s grace. It is not about being sinless but about having our sins covered and not counted against us. This is the foundation of true blessedness—being forgiven and accepted by God.
